I try to keep several of these around and my last one died a bit prematurely so I need some more. I have some woods I prefer for these, but they're not on hand and I cut a black cherry down recently so I figured I'd try it out. This chunk is well over 4" in diameter. I went with a knotty section that otherwise would be firewood. Hatchet only. Already back riving some fencing from white oak.

Edge case submission
I made one! It is made from Hard Maple. I say that rather than sugar maple because it is so accurate a description of the wood…

Tools used: hatchet, bowsaw, saw-machete hybrid (sorry, only handles visible)

BBV price: 1
Note: Please include measurements so that reviewers can verify dimensions per requirements. It must be 16in long and 4in diameter at the fat end and it looks a bit small compared to your hand. A clear photo of all of the tools used would also be helpful.

Here is Clodhopper, This was actually completed last year and Id forgotten to post it. Clodhopper has already been used and abused into retirement but we now have a few others that get made as needed. But the original is now a door stop cause I think its pretty cool we made a tool and cant bring myself to burn it!
