Thanks but I'd prefer it to be a fantastic finish! I may extend the deadline to the end of April. With all the other wood I've scrounged I've neglected the BL. Too much rain hasn't helped.
Maybe a half cord from my Manic Monday score. Barkless rounds staged. Pushing three cord for the thread. Remote chance of cutting more this week, if not this weekend.
3 cords for the thread? You best get out there in the pouring 40 degree rain this week if you want to be where you were at for last year's BL thread! 4 more cords Brad and you've got a week to make it happen! Black Locust Harvest 2022-23
LOL!!! Luckily 7 cords (shhhhhhhh) wasn't the goal this year. Honey holes are starting to dry up with the volume I need. Too bad I didn't live closer to Bristol!
Hit another honey hole today for a quick cut. Bucked a bigger blowover from a May 2018 storm. Nicely weathered and clean. 462 hasn't seen action in some time. My exclusive BL storage was inaccessible so had to go to main storage for now. Cutting another load tomorrow.
Thanks. In a perfect world all the dead, down BL I harvested would be like this. Bark free and washed clean by mother nature. The section of trunk I bucked was entirely off the ground.
Nice stuff Brad. FWIW I hauled that tulip log out of the field before the next soaking rain which seems to be more often than not
Hit a new honey hole yesterday. Blowovers, tops, and some clean up wood from an August 2020 storm. More there. Don't know when I'll be back. Four cords current tally. Going to extend the thread until months end.
Hit the honey hole again from post #30 above. Before and after stack picks. Roughly 4 1/3 cords for the thread. At least a couple more cuts before months end.
