    Landlords wood so that is/was a no on doing that; to that one anyway.
    Yes that is always a possibility if the need arises.
    I do have the CSM to get to a rough size. There are some bigger ones that I have access to that will have to be made a little smaller to fit on my mill. Yeah I know I should have bought a bigger mill.

    When I saw that pic, my first thought was the powderpost beetle dust from my hickory and locust wood..

    It's been about a month since I've been out hoarding, seeing these pics makes me want to get out. That's some great looking firewood. I want to just say that's some great looking wood, but on here I've gotten kind of guarded on that. :rofl: :lol:

    I have found that to be 100% true. If you want to compare and contrast, use the same saw and cut an oak round and then the next cut dig into a spruce or pine round. The pine chips will be massive squares whereas the oak ones are more skinny and long in shape.

    If you rip a 32" log in half..........the widest part of each half........is still 32"........... And it still won't fit. And they still probably wouldn't be able to move it.

    Dust looks to be typical.

    Who? Me? Nah...just a humble guy with a wood, uh i mean, severe wood hoarding problem. In the original pic ill have to admit it does look dustier. This "new" camera has fewer pixels than the last one. Not as clear as the other.

    I didn’t mean it that way, hastily written. Just meant that I noticed that it was drinking more than my 400.
