And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Somebody needs to be introduced to the axe handle salesman
I've broken so many hand axe handles. Always keep the heads for hammering into logs a bit too big for my stove. There how I broke the handles. Hornbeam burns nice and hot.
Nah. Just need a good spoke-shave and some hickory.
ReplyDeleteUsed to be that axe handles were relatively inexpensive but these days they can be pricey.
ReplyDeleteI like ironwood myself, ye ol' hophornbeam can take a beating better than hickory ever could.
