Back-Saving Wood-Cutting Stand
Ron Sonnenberg, McCreary, Manitoba, made a stand for cutting wood a few years ago that saves on his back and speeds up the production of firewood for his outdoor furnace.
    The base stand is made from thick-walled pipe and measures 5 by 6 ft. in size. A 12-ft. pipe mounts along the front edge of the stand and has steel rerod fingers welded to it every 3 to 4 in. along its length. The ends of the fingers are bent upward at a 90 degree angle to keep logs from rolling off.
    “I can cut logs to whatever length I want, and I can slice through 2 or 3 logs at a time if they are smaller. I load several logs at once onto the stand with my tractor loader. It’ll hold about a cord of wood at a time. Once the pieces are cut, I can load them onto a trailer to transport to my outdoor furnace. I never have to pick wood up off the ground,” says Sonnenberg.
