Found a lot of firewood, and it needs to dry a lot more.

Why does it need to dry more? Well, check the 2nd image

... 😆, yeah, not a funnel but it is certainly cracked quite a bit, as I was hollowing it out it got a bit warm and it steamed it pretty good. I should have been sharpening more often as that was likely a large portion of the issue, generating too much heat.

And I did fill one 5 gallon bucket with shavings from today's mess. I probably spent about 5 hours messing around in total. I have a few blanks that I have bagged and will be opening them periodically over the next few months to get them to dry slowly.

Edited for grammar and just English in general... LOL 😆
