Noodling

I’m almost done splitting my wood pile.  I’m down to the giant rounds I put off to the end.

Log Pile with Noodles Surrounding It

When handling giant rounds I use a technique known as noodling where you use your chainsaw and cut with the grain of the wood.  The result is long strands of sawdust that look like noodles.

Below are the results of my work.  Manageable pieces of wood ready to be split.

    • I’ve got the Logrite hookaroon and it’s an awesome tool for pulling wood off the pickup. I rarely use it though, I find a good axe or splitting maul to be handier most of the time.
