Great pics !!!

Looks like The DF didn't even break a sweat.

For the Dog Father......

None of this was hard work at all for the DF. But, I had to do some work outside today. It was around freezing, but not real cold. I couldn't really wear very warm gloves because of what I was doing. So, in this case I will usually start a small fire outside. I have not done this since getting the DF. So, today was the first day.

I normally have fires all summer long. So, I have a supply of wood that is cut, and split to somewhat decent sizes. But, being that I don't have it covered, some was covered with ice and snow. So, I hade to split it down into smaller pieces. This is the wood I started with.



A couple of pieces had some decent knots in them.



After I got some smaller pieces from the center of pieces, I decided to put some curls on the edges. Normally, at this point I would switch to a smaller knive (like the SS4) that is usually kept scary sharp. But, I wanted to do it all with the DF today. I was actually REALLY surprised at how easy it was to do with this sized knife. The weight of the beast almost created the curls itself. Even in this maple.


I took an after photo, but is not even anything significant to show.

It was a good morning spent outside. My 4 1/2 year old and I even had a smore when we were done <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
