Wood chopping season opened in earnest over the weekend with red cedar. Still a little green at the core after six months of aging, but the season is young.

The swinging of the axe always raises the important philosophical questions, to wit: What is the proper beer to drink while chopping wood?

I went with Murphy's for opening day. Hard to go wrong with a good stout, even if the afternoon was on the warm side

Next week: Is using a star-shaped splitter cheating?
