How to dull an axe

[Square_peg]

Just cut down this tree.

Hey, dude! Somebody stole your front wheel!

Ouch! I once - and only once - tried chopping off a set of moose antlers. The antlers won; my German Iltis single bit was badly notched.

I wonder how fast that bike was going when it hit that tree

Looks bizarre.

That is SO cool!!

Awesome! Looks like someone parked the bike between a "little" tree growing with two primary trunks, add 30 years and viola!

That's pretty cool!
Hey pegs, is that near you?

Pretty much what happened. That's a cottonwood so it's a fast growing tree.

Yeah, Bear. It's just up the road a couple miles. Funny thing is there's another one just a few miles down the road. The famous 'Bicycle Tree' is over on Vashon Island.

neat picture. when I use to log and sawmill we would hit all kinds of junk in trees. Insulators, nails, staples, bricks and horse shoes set up in crotches of trees that grew in. saw,mill don't want to mess with logs from a homestead area just cause there may be a lot of scrap metal in the logs and they could ruin a set of teeth on the head saw.

Twice I've found bullets in pieces of lumber.
