Disclaimer: I am by no means experienced in preparing logs for storage, burning, there may be….. will be, stupid ‘newb’ questions ahead!
Hi all!
I am after some advice surrounding wood preparation.
I’m moving to a new house in 4 days and I finally have a real fire!
I know it’s too late to get anything ready for this year but I can start and prepare wood for next year at least.
I have a hatchet (Husqvarna) and a Scandinavian Forest Axe (Gransfors), I also have a near limitless supply of large logs as my sister sublets part of her field to a local arboriculture company so we get them for free!
The question is this, should I buy a Maul to quarter up the logs before I move onto my axe’s (they are quite large).
If so, can anyone recommend a good Maul, I’m not the richest man in the world but I do appreciate the investment in a quality tool, if looked after they can last a lifetime and longer.
Are there any ‘mid range’ mauls or should I go straight for a Swedish one?
Any advice will be appreciated, I’ve never had to process wood on a large scale before.
