Nice haul Molly!!! Looks like it was a good time out there. Chris and I met Mr. Pickle at the TD bank last year. He over heard us saying we purchased land and came to congratulate us. He told us about the Pickle festival but I told him it'd be difficult for us to get up there then.
"I met Mr Pickle at the bank" sounds like one of the radio commercials they have been playing lately. "Sounds like your bank hung you out to dry" or "sounds like your bank is blowing smoke up your azz"
Great looking young hoarder you have there. Start them young. Good looking future hoarder you have there. Start them young. Our 2 yr old grandson lives to help. He was stacking small sticks, Getty ready to build a fire. He also finished putting rounds in the wood box. He know how to use ear plugs when around the saw or splitter. Glad you got to take him along.
They do look like Cherry leaves now that you mention it, but not cherry bark that I have seen. It did have a slight medicinal smell when chopping, but the leaves are alternating, so not black walnut. Oh well, I suppose it will all be Ash when I am done with it. Edit: some of the twigs on the small branches in the leaf shot does indeed look like a cherry.
Great time had hoarding and getting pickled. Nice to put a face to the name Woodwhore ! I could hear the trees shaking when you two were near!
buZZsaw BRAD - good opportunity to put face to name coming up in a few weeks, at weldrdave's. Not far from where rt91 crosses into nh.
I just went the last time to help cut. I didn't take any wood in my mini van. We also loaded up midwinter's trailer. Cut some wood. Meet some new faces. Enjoy the ride and scenery. Take wood if you want to.
Covered bridge #1 has a 3 ton weight limit, but there is a back road to my land where you can drive around. Not far out of the way off of rt10.
They did, but they ran out before I got there. What was left, and what I got, were "hot chips". They were delicious. The supplier was Patriot pickles. They were serving them out of 5 gallon buckets. I would have liked to have bought some, but oddly, there were no small jars for sale.
I thought I saw some ash at the dump driving home yesterday. Nope, some sort of oak. Green and clean as buZZsaw BRAD likes to say. It didn’t smell like chestnut or white oak.. a real mild almost creamy smell. I bet a barrel of this stuff would make a nice Chardonnay. The real question, to me, is why someone would drop off just three rounds of the stuff. I took care of two of them so far. 14”-16” split and stacked behind. The tall one I split was around 26”. I’ll probably just cut it in half to avoid chunks. “Stack it short and get some mort.” Edit: it looks a lot like the red oak leaf shape... maybe it is less pungent fresh? Like it didn’t have time I sit around and ferment.
Leaf reminds me of blackjack oak. Never seen or cut any (dunno if its around my parts). Interesting to ponder why just three, but made your morning for sure! Nice score! You're a poet and didnt know it!
