Start up

A chap from just down the road called to ask if I wanted a load of firewood tomorrow and I of course answered in the affirmative. When we were setting up the sculptures back on Monday I couldn't resist asking some blokes at the university for a few of the branches they were chopping off of the trees there, so I thought I would saw them up to make way for the new stuff. I have a double session of the kids class at the end of next month when we will be making stick chairs, so I set aside a few of these branches for that.
It is always a bit of a slow start up as the firewood season starts. Branches like this are easiest to tackle with the circular saw. You hold the saw up at the back and push it down on to the branch, then there is nowhere for it to go.
