I normally sit at a desk all week myself. This is my vacation week between the old job and the new. Best way for me to get a mental break is out in the woods.
Nice load of wood and a nice tractor to haul it with. America beech? Doesn't American beech grow with a corkscrew grain?
So here is what I got done in 2 hours. Three buckets of beech, one bucket of large hickory (first pic), and carried out 4 beech logs for some spring milling. Of course the largest log is the one fell off and is now covered with mud. I am certain these are not premium logs, but I will get some nice lumber from them. Wish I could do this for a living......hope to bring out the rest of the rounds tomorrow. Guessing 15 more buckets.....
Nice looking stuff vacation this time of year is great for cutting wood only thing I can see wrong in the pics is the tractor is the wrong color just kidding nothing wrong with green. I'm just partial to red.
Great look load of wood as well as tractor! I've never burned beech how does it compare to say red oak?
I have not used a lot of oak in my day, but it's up there with sugar maple if I am not mistaken. I do not think there is a single oak on this 25 acres now that I think about it.
I guess I can't complain but I only have oak white/red and one cord of hickory that I haven't burned yet. The only beech I had a chance at was to big for my saw
Way to stay after it, Woodsnwoods ! I've got the little brother to your tractor, a 1025R. It saves a lot of time and a lot of sore muscles. Nice work!
Third and last for this morning . Many more to go, but my coffee is empty and my wife has breakfast waiting
