    My buddy has a tree service cut down a beech tree in his backyard. They took most of the trunk but I did get some trunk and limb wood. IMG_1845.jpeg IMG_1844.jpeg IMG_1846.jpeg

    I processed a beech a month ago or so. Some split great, some was very twisted! Smelled wonderful. Hope I can find more just for the scent!

    Very nice. We have one that's blown down, still putting out green leaves since Sept '24.

    Been quite a while since I have cut or burned any beech but definitely one of my favorites.
