- While up in the North Georgia Mountains I came across a large windfall red pine. I bucked it with the Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe to make a bushcraft bench and split boards.

Beautiful outing...excellent craftmanship...great to see the little LUMBERJACKS...
Thank you! It was a weekend to remember. Already planning another trip. The little guys always have a blast out there, It's so fun watching them tool around the campground
Good stuff! Nice day out and quality time with the youngsters. Beaut patch of forest too👍👍🪓
Thank you! They're getting old enough to have some real fun out there! It's so nice up in the mountains, the creeks are crystal clear, and so much timber. It's protected so I don't get to fell anything unfortunately, but really nice to use the downed wood
Nice day and a very cool camp project!
Thanks Matt! Excited to go back and build some more
A real treat of a video! Beautiful area. Great to see little lumberjacks in action.
My favorite camping spot! The kids are getting big enough to help with projects and I’m so excited for that!
Looks like a great day !
It was a great time! Can’t wait to go back for more.
This a wonderful day in the woods. Nice cooperative pine. It looks so pleasant with how much lighter it is than oaks haha.
It was so beautiful up there. Every time I go it gets harder to leave. This pine was wonderful. Smelled amazing. Still plenty of it up there!
@urbanlumberjack meant to add: when the split doesn't run down the entire score line I usually think my score line wasn't deep enough and/or I didn't wedge enough in that area. Not that important unless you need every board foot.
Glad I'm not the only one who cuts through so flat like that. I get aggravated when people cut away a huge chunk like they were sharpening a pencil or channeling their inner beaver. It can be a little aggravating if you can't roll the log or move around the cut, but it turns out a much more usable log in the end.
Absolutely! Much more yield bucking like this. I'm happy to find someone out there who gets it! I've seen people criticize bucking this way on other channels, but I don't think they've seen how doing it this way results in MUCH more usable wood and it doesn't take that much longer.
@@urbanlumberjack Great minds think alike! Why they want to turn a solid foot of log into chips on the ground is beyond me. And then they have to chop more just to square up the end after they've freed it from the main log.
It all depends on what your goal is, but the general rule is to make a 90° notch because the axe cuts the fibers more efficiently on a diagonal than perpendicular.
Enjoyed the discussion here, I smiled alot reading it...done very gentlemanly sirs...
I have an axe from my old Army unit that needs to be touched up but I don’t have the the space/tools to do so. Could you do it? You could maybe even make a video about it if you wanted.
Sounds like a fun project! You could send me an email at urbanlumberjackga@gmail.com to workout the details
@@urbanlumberjack just sent an email!
Are the kid's axes Hultafors? Think I see a H006 or H009 there. The first of my axes is a H009, the one I have customized the head and shaft on. The other one is a Small Forest Axe. Interesting project in the video.
How did you make the legs for the bench?
They sure are! One is a true Hults Bruk and the other is a Husqvarna. Ive come to like those hatchets a lot. For the legs I tap in the outline of the auger and taper of with a hatchet.
@@urbanlumberjackYes, I thought I saw a Husqvarna stamp on one hatchet. The Hultafors standard line of hatches/axes are simpler/less crafted, but works fine. In fact, my H009 (900 gram/2 lb head, 20" handle), has been thorougly used by me for 1,5 years. It has stood up to all of it. While my SFA got chipped after maybe 10 times. The Hultafors standard axes give you very much axe for your money.
