My property is a wooded lot in the country and this year the first signs of the Emerald Ash Borer are showing. Fortunately, this is several years after when we expected to get hit, unfortunately, my property is about 75% ash trees between 10 and 40 years old which are all doomed. This means that, if I were to cut down one soon-to-be-dead ash tree every day I'd have my work cut out for most of a year.
To make some of the task easier (read: more fun), I decided to splurge a little and bought myself a double-bit axe, something I'd always lusted after. Everything was going well until most of the way through the second tree when the handle snapped clean off at the head.
Now, where did I put that crucible?
I'm sorry that my first real post is a dorky story but anyway, hello everyone!
