Twisted cherry

Just finished splitting about 1.5 cord of the most twisted cherry ever. I'd rather split the elm I worked on last month than do anymore cherry like that

 

That sux. Hand or hydro split? Ive had cherry be miserable to split when i thought it'd be easy.

With your thread title i thought it was a new adult beverage.
Maybe your can create your own alcoholic concoction to have after dealing with twisted cherry.

 

Hydro split. And yea made me think of a new flavor adult beverage

 

Cherry can be worse than gum when it wants to be.

 

Be careful what you wish for.

 

I’ve split cherry that made a 360° twist in about 6-8 blocks. Miserable.
But the next one splits like ash

 

Box Elder is another one that can be pretty twisty...

 

I’ve found both White Ash and Cherry to be twisty and have lots of branches and crotches. Depends on growing conditions I think.

 

Some of those big cherry yard trees can be miserable. The grain gets so crooked that noodling them produces sawdust, rather than noodles.

They'll never split straight, but seem to split easier if you can let the rounds dry for a couple of months. That being said, because it's someone's yard tree, you can't let the rounds sit for a couple of months.

 

Very Good Brad that cracked me up.

Just got back from lake Havasu. Did not have any twisted beverages but did manage to have a little whisky.

 

Worse than Elm. That had to be pretty bad.

 

Sorry guys, but this song happened to pop in my head!

 

I was thinking a little worse than an adult beverage...

 

If I get nasty Cherry like that I run it through the chipper & bag it for smoker chips. Some is just miserable.

 

Mill that tree!!!! You will get done great timber and might be able to make a few$$$$
