I bag most of them and use them for kindling (wood stove). A fair amount also go to a local living history museum. We’ve reached out to a potter who might want some for her raku firing too

As I get older, I appreciate working with my hands more. I write code but I grow beans and squash and tomatoes and peppers.

I’d like to think that each shaving is an affront to unfettered and soulless capitalism

It’s a good brake. I’ve sometimes used the crotch of a tree or even a sturdy ladder to rive small stuff

Shingles just loitering and gossiping in my shed. I cut the big oak to length with my chainsaw. I love using hand tools but I’m not stupid or Amish.

I’m all over the place with this thread. Here’s a 16th part of the big oak being further split in twain before I work it thinner with another wedge called a froe. The oak is still green when splitting, riving, and dressing. Also, ICE can suck it. Fucken goons.

It really is. You have to be fussy and basically a wood snob when you’re riving stuff

Thanks! A Woodcraft I think. I stole it from my old job 😃

You can see by the distance between the growth rings that this was a fast-growing oak. That makes the grain harder than slow-growth stuff and also makes my arms cramp in the wee hours of the morning

I hack off the oak’s sapwood bc that’s where the entropy is and bugs love entropy

But, if I may add... it is still 100% free to be a badass. 😉
