    Took about 30 minutes and required a bit of careful batonning to get some of the pieces to break out. Left out a couple of notches but I ran out of stick. :)

    I've done a few things, pot hooks and such. This particular machete is really good steel, like knife sharp so that helps. You just slow down and go at a very deliberate speed. ;)

    Had to cut it short, so I wasn't able to do as many notches as I had hoped.

    So I actually cut this oak sapling last Oct, before deer season. It's been curing in my garage since then, I just got it down to start turning in into a walking staff. My thought was it would be good practice on slow sortof precision work. Taking off tiny chips and slivers with a chete takes a little more focus. ;)

    Went for a hike with some friends, while we stopped for lunch I decided to try one more stick.
