Time to Split

Here at Kinda Fuzzy we have previously mentioned an upgrade to our heating system here in the woods.  Well, even fancy High-Tech Woodstoves need to be fed.  In the same post we also mentioned cutting down a dead (mostly) oak in the neighbor's yard.

Now it was time for The Fuzz to get down to business.

Most of this job went pretty well.  But there are those occasional blocks that can complicate things.

Here we can see an example.  You will note that this piece involves a fork in said tree.

We have side A, and side B.  So since there is not much else going on, we will demonstrate Our Fuzz's technique for handling situations like this.  It is basically a matter of carefully considered "Wacks*", as will be demonstrated below.

It is not always a good idea to try to split these things exactly at the fork, so The Fuzz has learned to work around it.

1st Wack

2nd Wack

3rd Wack

4th and Last Wack.

Now all that remains is to roll it to the trailer,

and stash it near the Woodstove!
