I don't have any doors to sacrifice, nor car hoods or doors. But I have some really hard, weathered juniper stumps in the yard. There was one particularly ugly one that I have wanted to trim. And when I picked up the Dumpter Mutt it said "I may be short but I can chop too". Here's the result:

The branch is 5" or 6" across by about 4" wide, kind of oblong. The juniper heartwood is hard..you have to hack at it.

And the Mutt is still shaving sharp and no worse for the wear
