American Worker: Firewood Cutter

For my theme week I am going to post pictures of me in different jobs commonly held by an American Man. It will be my tribute to the working man.

I am starting with a firewood cutter. My roommate actually does this for his regular income. I told him that I had to pose for a picture to look as BA as he does everyday.

This is a georgous photo and I LOVE the theme idea.

However, aren't stretching it just a little that "Firewood Cutter" is a common job among American men?

@shularbrau Haha. Maybe a little bit. But it is a common enough job and one that any man could do with some effort. It isn't too obscure.

This is really awesome. You've set the bar pretty high and will have a hard time outdoing yourself when lumberjack theme day comes around. CLAME for competition.

most definitely manly man stuff. I always enjoy splitting wood but it would take a lot to do it every day.

Hrm... You've already encroached on later plans for MY theme week. It's a good thing there's no rule against duplicating! Great shot!

I dislike chopping wood, but only after the fact when the blisters set in.

If he's actually swinging an axe all day, that job has got to be one of the best workouts ever.

Good to know robots haven't taken ALL of the jobs formerly held by very bearded men.

Wow... you just put my lumberjack photo of yesterday to shame...

This is going to be a manly week.

I want the title of this series to be named:
"It's called Man"
