As I cut my first cord for the Axe Cordwood Challenge, I had mostly been piling up the tops for later processing. Now that I've forged my Nata billhook, I'm returning to those piles, limbing them, and bringing the decent sized wood home for adding to my woodpile for the challenge. Processing this sized material is a bit different from large diameter logs, and this is just to show how it has been going for me so far.
