I nearly took my thumb off with a billhook once. It still aches in cold weather. It serves as a reminder that if I’m feeling crotchety or agitated, to take a little moment to regulate myself. I’m no longer a Coppicer and I miss it but I’m glad to still have my thumb :) 👍

Oops, it's easily done, as I too have learned the hard way. Months on mine is still sore. I'm back out coppicing and slightly nervous every time I pick the billhook up. Glad you still have your thumb too!

Lovely post as always folks. Hope your hand gets all mended soon Andrew. At least you're not wallowing in too much self pity like me after nearly two months of enforced taking it easiness.
