A warm February Sunday + Free time = the perfect recipe for taking down three small trees from a stand of oaks behind Beland Apiary.
A friend came over with anchors, Â straps, and the ability to accurately throw an arbor bag/grappling hook/any heavy object tied to a rope. Because the trees were near fences and had an odd lean I didnât want to take any chances. He worked his magic with the straps to ensure they fell safely into the yard.
And so they did. We limbed them where they landed and then dragged the thick lengths to the folding sawbuck I made last weekend. There they were cut into a heap of fireplace sized logs.
In under 90 minutes we safely created an airier section of the back yard and a small pile of wood to season. We celebrated in the old New England way with an unfiltered Downeast hard cider. Mmm and well-deserved.
