While some firewood can provide a good source of wagon hub blanks, the type of wood and how well it had cured can influence the quality of useable hubs. I have a selection of American Elm logs that I had selected specifically for wagon hubs, but I had neglected to turn them into rounds soon enough, so much of this pile has to be left to the firewood pile. Since I supplement the shop heat with firewood, this is not a total loss. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles sometimes involves sourcing materials wherever you can find them.

I picked up this Makita cordless chainsaw as a handy saw for some of my large, heavy timbers here in the shop. Much handier and convenient than my 24" Husqvarna saw.

I have multiple Makita tools so I have several extra batteries
Therefore I bought this tool only option.
