Title: Elm Cut and Split Today!
Post by: rileyconcrete on April 07, 2012, 07:57:28 pm

This is the tree I had asked about cutting last week.  I ended up with 63 inches of usable wood, a little shorter than I wanted but we will see if there are any bows in her.  Here are the pictures I took.  I had lots of help my two year old son levi and my cousin.  It was fun,  not as hard to split as everyone said.

Well here are the pictures.
