Holey Moley

Echatham · April 17, 2014, 03:59:00 PM

been working on this one for a while... had it roughed out at Christmas time i remember that much. stave looked clean on the outside, but i had to chase a deep ring to get a good early/late wood ratio. the belly of the handle is just about the center of the log. anyway when i got down to my target ring all i could say was... well... holey moley. she threw me for some loops. she's 47# at 28" and 65" ntn. perceptable handshock, but not bad at all. shoots pretty damn sweet for firewood

Holey crap Eric, you have come a long way in a real short time, I'm very impressed with that piece of firewood. I love the picture with the sun shining through the three holes, awesome stuff.
