I worked on a marvel of caveman engineering and a truly nasty beast in my garage this afternoon.
I have created a caber scale, which I will bring to the VMC on Sunday so we can get some weights on the cabers.
And, I prepped the big ol' nasty oak caber. Dude. It is nasty. I cleaned up the first 4 feet or so, but left the other 15 all mean and nasty. We definitely need to come up with a name for it. I called it "the Brute" in an earlier post, but that is a bit too civilized. So far, the names that have crossed my mind are: the Beast, Frankenstick, Big Ugly, WartHog, Gollum, and Thulsadoom.
Hey Mike, IFyou turn the Tootsie Roll, too, then we will try this one. It is heavy and dense like the Hickory, but thicker and longer.
