saw buck

Here is the sawbuck. I'm getting the hang of the best saw stroke, but still need to come up with a good way to quickly grip the wood during cut, then release for the next piece. Current setup works, but is a kludge. This is all large branches left from the wind downed trees in July. It's soft maple, so easy to cut.

Here is a bonus photo of our earlier garlic harvest. With the heat and drought, garlic finished early, but the size was good and we had a pretty good crop. It's all cured and stowed away now. We'll actually be planting from some of these bulbs soon, probably our trip in late October.
