Went tam:
Looks like there is some usable iron in there. Next time I'm over I will bring some sharpening stones and we can tune one up. Remember my warning tho, vintage hand tools are addictive, I treasure mine more than any power tool I own.

Sounds great Matt. Looking forward to the 15th. The weekend was fun and we got a lot done on the dam. The temp yesterday was 45 and the ground was wet so we couldn't move logs. Today we have a high of 4 so the ice on the ground should be sharp. After work going to move some of those 14 footers and 8 footers that are already up on the dam. Temp is going to be 18 on Tuesday so I should get the other 8 cut then. That will leave logs for milling. Then a day for cleanup and then we will be done till spring seeding.
When the dam project is finished I will be starting on timber stand improvement so this means more staves on the way!

Iowan news
I have two young men that want to come and finish building their bows on saturday. They already have the ring chased on their staves. They are driving 5 hours to get here so I want to make sure I have help before I tell them to come down. They would like start on Saturday and finish their bows the same day. Please let me know if you can help out so that I can let them know. Looks like the snow will be on friday not saturday. Also if you have projects to work on there should be lots of time to work on them also.

Just about got it knocked out 2-3 trees left and cleanup.

Tim stopped by work and dropped off a box he made for the quad. Just in time too, the 24 year old hoist box bit the dust after much use this winter. Now we have two good chainsaw boxes for both saws.
