Despite the rain today up on Crouching Lion Mountain, several of us hardy souls gather with Mary Murphy of Mountainsong Expeditions to learn basic Ax skills.
Mary covered topics such as ax types, ax handling safety, limbing, bucking, felling, splitting wood, ax blade sharpening, and ax handle replacement.
Some of us tested our skills at limbing, bucking, and splitting. And then we practiced sharpening our blades.
Then we all palavered over a delicious potluck next to the warmth of the wood stove.
