Theres a ton of hornbeam on the edges of swamp on my property and cousins. All 3-8" diameter. It makes easy cutting and fast wood. In the trailer and stacked in pile. No splitting. Ash would be a dream. Prolly most of that splits with an axe.
Oh I love no splits ! I'd love a whole bunch of that buddy ! I'm close tho . Most of the ash splits very easy. That's been 99% of our wood to burn the last 5 years.....and for the next 40 lol....if the bugs don't get em first
I cut some ash three years ago and after that length of time being css, can understand why everyone enjoys it so much. Good stuff for starting fires in a cold stove also. Just needs to be re-split into smaller sizes.
Oh its very nice...and it just so happens that we are blessed with an abundance of it up in my neck of the woods !
I was thinking a little closer to 110 lbs in a 10 lb sack.... But the screen always adds a little bit.
Your screen adds a whole lot more than mine does But I think you're right- there's simply no need for apparel to be applied like that- my opinion, of course.....
