I enjoy watching the woodchopping but it takes a longish time to set up and is all done in mere minutes -- so a lot of hanging about involved. A useful skiill ... we're heating the house by wood fire now the gas and electricity prices have gone stratospheric.
Ooo lovely Australian images. That second one is a corker!
ReplyDeleteExpect the cost of a load of wood to rise commensurately until it sits neatly beneath the cost of the other two.
I always worry they might miss the wood and chop their foot off aghh!!
ReplyDeleteI always love the woodchopping when I see it at the Easter Show, but it's good to get more up close here.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to have found your blog, its wonderful! I live in Rylstone and can't emphasize how much I love it. The show is always wonderful. The best bit is the day before when we're all madly setting up. It's bedlam! x
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed watching this event. Those axes are so sharp. Great shots. Who will be chopping your wood?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how often you have to sharpen an ax like that. I'm sure the wood dulls it quickly.
ReplyDeleteDiane, a good question. I will reveal the answer on Burnbrae Journal someday soon.
ReplyDeleteThe woodchop is thrilling to watch... but, oh, that axe gets so close to their feet.
