GB Scandinavian Forest Axe

Morning thunderstorm knocked a tree down outside my house. GB made short work of limbing in preparation for chainsaw... and the woodpile continues to grow.

The very top of the tree was 10 meters from my house, did take out a couple cedars I planted.
Here is my solution for falling trees:

Sure beats paying over $100 for a cord ;).
Now that is a lovely wood stove :D! I don't know about you, but I cringe at the electrical or gas fake wood stoves and fireplaces...there's no real warmth, if you know what I mean - and there's no smoke aroma.

You got some nice equipment there for the job, lucky that tree fell clear of your home fella... T^
