What a tremendous (and colorful) trio, Dean! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Thanks, Dean :); I've had my eye on a Beer Barrel canoe (as well as other knives in that series) for quite sometime, and finally acted (when I was sure it was not simply an impulse :rolleyes:).

My Lambsfoot of the Week is my rosewood Union Jack:

Thanks, Gary! I like your impulse control comment above. I usually don't buy on impulse, but some do get through before the "better angels of out nature" stop me.

I like the thematically themed presentation of your Lambsfoot of the Week. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I decided to tote these two today, but they never got out of my pocket for any duty. A friend fell a black cherry and a red maple yesterday and told me that he had "a few" fireplace-size cut logs. So, I left the house this morning in my pickup for a quick firewood run. Two hours later, I returned with a full bed load that was two rows above the bed rails. Then a little over an hour to unload and stack it for splitting. They were perfect fireplace lengths, but a bit robust in the girth and green enough to be heavier than they looked. That little chore whipped my derriere. I'll use one of my carries to trim a cigar when I go out to admire the wood pile again. Now, where's that ibuprofen??

Stuart, I know what you're saying about maple and cherry wood esp when it's still green. :p The same scenario, I was used to cutting and using Jack Pine for firewood. A local said there was an ash tree fell across the road, and away I went. What a workout, boy does it burn hot.:eek:

Thanks, Dave. I'm glad to hear a good report about ash. I'm splitting 6 large white ash rounds that I picked up this past weekend. A heavy rain late this afternoon caused me to walk away from a round with the splitting wedge stuck in deep.

That's a bugger, this was a few years back when I was living in NW Ontario on the Minnesota border when this happened.
It gets mighty cold there on the Lake of the Woods, I remember splitting the ash when it was -32 F it just explodes at that temp. :D
The good thing with wood splitting is you get warm twice. All the best Stuart. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
