Dying to Feed You: Chris McCrone lost his thumb sawing logs

It was Saturday 16 October. I will never forget that day in a million years. I got up and was out the door about 7am. We had suckler cows on the farm and I was getting the calves on the creep feed – the first job of the day. After breakfast, we needed to split some firewood. So, I got everything set up – the circular saw and the firewood processor on the back of an old David Brown 885 I had. I knew if I got a good load done, I'd have a decent supply for the start of winter. There were big logs and small logs. I was cutting the big logs and chucking the small logs straight onto the elevator. I chucked a small log on the elevator with my left hand, and went to move a bigger log I was holding with my right hand, ready to make the next cut. I'd got into some kind of rhythm with the machine and I was swinging the cutting table in with my hip. As I swung my left hand, my right hand came across and I pushed the table in with my hip. The next thing, I looked down and my hand was in the machine.
