Four years later, the wood from this score just keeps on giving. A small load heading to my uncle’s house for cooking tomorrow’s outdoor turkey.
That’s so awesome Eric! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Please post some pics of the cooked turkey! (The actual turkey, not a pic of Brad….)
I've got 2 old apple trees on my property I need to take down they're both half dead. Been burning some bigger stuff I pruned off them last year trying to bring them back and it burns hot. Not sure if someone planted them or nature did they're about 10-12" dbh. Going to put some new ones in there place for the deer.
BUMP Got a text from one of my wood sources last night about this. Checked it out earlier. Mostly smaller trees with 6 to 8" diameter trunks. Not ideal if you're looking for cordage. Rows closest to road already cut. The orchard store was closed for the season as I wanted to ask how much time before they chip them.
Im going for smoker wood inventory and will cherry pick (not an intentional pun) for the better pieces. Mostly smaller trees from what I saw. Getting cleaned up in the Spring so I have time. Probably going tomorrow in the cold.
Try to steer clear of the crotch sections(until you know for sure). I’ve run into high tensile wire used to train branches. Wrecks chain.
Hit it today. Started right where I parked the other day. Went up one side and down the other one tree at a time limbing, bucking, and piling up logs as I went. Couple bigger trees. Twenty trees cut up ranging from 6-13" stumps making close to a half cord load. Split most after. Darker pics taken at dusk. Full bag of splitter scraps will get sold too. Ill get more soon. Apple smoker inventory going way up.
