Wood splitting time

Neighbor cleaned up his pasture so we have plenty of trees already laying down for us to harvest. 

 

 

Wood on the left is Osage Orange which has an interesting history! http://mdc.mo.gov/conmag/1995/11/06.html

Osage orange bow blanks and finished bows were prime items of barter among the tribes. One early report said a well balanced bow was worth a "comely young squaw" in trade. Another said that in the early 1800s the price of a good Osage orange bow was a horse and a blanket. Tribal wars were fought for possession of lands generously supplied with Osage orange trees.
