...whittle down my stack of wood that hasn't been processed yet that is. It looks like this might be one of the last days of fall like weather before the heat gets turned up next week, so I tried to do some splitting and stacking today. I have a good chunk (for me) of ash, locust and elm that I started to work on. I trimmed up a bunch of branches that overhang my stacking area first, then got busy with some splitting and stacking of some ash and locust.
Looks like some nice hickory in there too! Our fall weather came to a halt too but we've still not hit 80. They are forecasting one day near 90 this coming week but it is supposed to be short lived.
Looking good, a little at a time and it'll get done. I've been working at getting some of that done too...
I was pretty sure those were locust, but the the rounds just above them I still can't quite figure out.
Nice work you got done! All top shelf wood too.... Very nice stacks too. Those unidentified rounds above the locust look a bit like maple, but it's hard to tell from the photo. Split it up and share the pictures. How's that elm splitting for you with the Fiskars?
I have identified those rounds . Thats the North American Firewood tree. (NAF) . Have a ton if it up my way LOL ! Great job on taking advantage of this nice cooler weather. Who thought a polar vortex would be so nice
Hey, we have a couple of those trees around here too but I haven't been able to I.D. them. Until now. Thank you!
It's hit and miss with splitting the elm. Some rounds that are clear of branches split pretty nicely, but some are sitting waiting to be introduced to the hydraulics!LOL.
That does not look like the ones I circled. The other ones were a more shaggy bark, hence shagbark hickory. But I can be wrong for sure especially when it comes to pictures.
