Up the creek!I’d been waiting for spring tides to access my wood pile. Finally got a tide just barely high enough to get out with a mostly full skiff.
Feels like I’m sitting on all the gold in Fort Knox!
It’s about a five mile slow ride home. Saw a few feeding humpback whales. Spring is here!

Looks fun! Especially appealing since I’ve been in the Southern California desert for a month with no green except golf courses, no streams or lakes, and no woodworking! Starting to have withdrawals.

The next time I’m rolling some log out of the woods pissing and moaning, I’m going to take a deep breathe and remember this picture and what it takes for you to get yours! ??✌

@danahannah310 I go fuller with firewood but it was looking rough. Heck of a skiff. My dad welded it over 20 years ago.

@tjc_62 I was wondering about my sanity. But now it seems all worth it! One more trip in a few minutes.

@zachlaperriere Ya, I think any of us who chase our own trees often wonder about our sanity. Some days I come home proud as a peacock with my treasures and others days I’m thinking the neighbors must think I’m crazy and I don’t blame them, I am!

@tjc_62 Yep! We passed the cuokoo test. But that’s a good thing!

Oh no, crazy we may be, but salvaging these trees is a special treat. My son, doubleloyd, coined the phrase: giving new life to fallen trees. I still follow his lead. Hurricane Matthew was a disaster for most folks here is SC, but it brought down lots of wood for turning…a bright spot in an otherwise bleak time!
