What would you do if trees grew square?

Every time I roll a 300lb pound log across the grass to my truck, I always think....thank you wood gods that trees don’t grow square. If theydid, I would noodle it down into a cylinder but that would suck. Only easy solution would be to hand split like some of u hardcore folk or travel with a bobcat. What say u!

I would cut, split, and stack them.

 

probably make use of round tires

 

At least all firewood transactions would be a “square deal”

Right! And a true cord...no air pockets...just a lot more work.

we would call bucked logs "squares" instead of rounds! I would split as needed to lift and load without doing more damage to my back than ive already done!

 

I think they do here.

 

Ok, I just listened. What a wonderful place...whiskey rivers...hmm, hmmm..jails made of tin..hmmm, hmm. Seems like paradise but no square trees! I will add this to my cigar smoking bourbon drinking playlist.

Im gonna catch myself humming and/or whistling that tomorrow while im making firewood!

 

Yep.... maybe for a week

 

I bucked a square hickory last Summer.

 

Ha ha!! Of course you did!! I was thinking “I’ll bet Buzzsaw has cut square trees...”

 

I posted about it in July. See my thread
Hickory Board Meeting with a FHC Member!

 

I'd file my chain round.

 

I would’ve bought a saw mill already.

 

speaking of saw mills. Hows it going with that white oak bridge stock jo191145 ?

 

You have to go to Panama to cut square trees.Valley of Square Trees

 

Gotta fix my winch controller before doing anything.
Did find a bandsaw mill that supposedly works cheap. New guy getting into the biz. That works fine by me.
