Well me and My little lumberjack (Riley) went to the burn pile to see what we could find! Mommy even dressed him for the occasion (look at his shirt) I must say he must have brought some luck along with him, We hit the jackpot, found a Nice size Box Elder about 4' thick in the trunk area and plenty of Red Flame. :D But most of of the trunk area was hollow and had a bunch of barbed wire and nails in it so I didn't bother with it. also ran into some bullets, this tree must have been close to a house had all kinds of graffiti on it. I will have to be careful turning this stuff hard to tell what I will find in it.

Hey that's neat, Jim.

And he's kinda got that "oh oh, here comes the abyss" look in his eyes.

Awesome haul Jim---You need to get your helper a ball cap.
I have a couple of friends hunting for a Box Elder for me.

Glad you got some help there Jim, I know you needed it.:D It's good to train the right and early so that in a couple years you can just hand the keys over and say go get some wood son.;)

Great haul Jim.;)

It's almost sad to see such a cute little guy getting drawn in by the song of the chainsaw at such a young age.;)

What a lucky kid to have such a fun dad!

Oh, and nice wood too.

Jim, great shot of you little Helper!

Nice looking wood, get yourself a metal detector, the one I have saved me sawing through some nails with the Tokyo Log Hog, and once or twice on the jointer or thickness planer, paid for it self many times over on blades and such, but then if you add the safety issue into it, it becomes very valuable.

Cheers!

PS do Creeker hats come in lumber jack sizes? :D

Thanks all, Riley and I had a good day!
Stu I will defiantly use my metal detector before turning;)

You're a lucky fella', Jim! Great helper (real cute kid, BTW!) and an awesome haul! :) Heck, even the wood is lucky, as it's now going to get a second life with your hellp! Definitely a "win/win" situation for all! :) :cool:

Great pictures, Jim! So did you turn him loose with the chainsaw? He has some big shoes to fill there...;)

You've got a good lookin son there Jim. I see he's having to take a rest after loading all that wood.

That's great haul on the wood. Wow, it looks full of flame.
