My wife is in Mexico with some friends so I thought I'd try some log hewing. She gets back Friday so I have time to clean the chunks off her car.....
While my wife is away

While the cat's away the mice will play. You are just whittling on a larger scale.
I took my wife on vacation in Florida back in 2008. I have to go pick her up next week so vacation for me is over.

35 years ago, I bought an adze to build a timber frame house, I was 21 years old! After one log, I decided to build a sawmill! After cutting half the logs, I found out I could buy local cut logs for less than I was doing it for.
Still all fun. Looking good, bet it smells nice as well.

Be very careful if you're there by yourself.

When I was younger, I sometimes thought about hewing beams and selling them to people who wanted to have them exposed in their living rooms. Too late now.

I am by myself and will be careful, thanks. It's my first crack at it so am learning as I go. Cabin fever and bourbon can lead to things like this. I clear cut for our power line at our other property this summer so have a pile of logs. I'm thinking this beam will go over our fireplace.
This winter has been a real one or I'd be doing this outside instead of our garage.

Yep, I'm enjoying my vacation as well. Your wife was on a 10 year vacation?

That was my thought. With the wife away, who will call 911? :laughing:

My poor attempt at some Rodney Dangerfield humor.
Yes, be careful hewing by yourself. Its too easy to miss with one of your swings.
