True and great point. Biggest mulberry ive ever seen pictured. Had to be 16" DBH and was next door to where i was working last August.
I got up early today to split the load from yesterday. So all of the wood in question is mixed into this pile. The load was various types of wood - mostly ash. I didn’t think to separate it before I split it View attachment 306905
That looks peaceful. I wouldn’t mind hanging a hammock between a couple Aspen and taking a nap. I’ll bet it’s not a trillion degrees there and 400,000% humidity. (Hey Eric, I told you a million times to stop exaggerating!)
Yeah, it’s great brother. My property backs up to a remote part of a huge state park. So it’s very quiet. It was upper 40’s when I was out splitting this morning. And virtually no humidity.
FYI mulberry pops like crazy when burning from my experience. If you had a small fire going throw one of those cookies on it.
Mulberry, when fresh cut and split is a yellow wood. After you let it sit out, it turns a dark maroon color within days.
Ideal splitting conditions! The dewpoint was over 70 here today and the air was "visible" What i wouldnt give for weather like that.
It definitely felt like that out there today. I had the pleasure of working with fiberglass this afternoon while outside. Insulating a floor from underneath.
Heres some BL that I split Sunday. Barkless, 2 different colors. One log was getting a little funky, that split at resembles some of yours Cash Larue.
I’ve got it Cash Larue . Since nobody else is up there at 30,000 feet to sniff it, you’ve got to take one for the team and tell us what it smells like. In my limited experience Mulberry doesn’t smell like much. Maybe out west it smells like pumpkin pie for all I know. But black locust has a strong scent as soon as you break it open. What’s your sniffer telling you Cash?
Interesting! It just smells like wood to me. Not bad. Not particularly good? There definitely isn’t a specific smell to it.
Alright, locust is out then. I can’t even begin to describe what BL smells like. Weird. Mustard smell? Nah, that’s not it. Some kind of strange ethnic cooking is about as close as I can pin it. It’s probably Mulberry then, as JimBear said all along. Good to know that’s what they look like when given enough time to grow.
