Yeah, They left everything that didn't go into the chipper. I definitely have more hickory than I'll ever use. Unfortunately, I haven't found time to make it small enough to move inside. I need to get some of it out of the weather and get the ends shellacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
