Storm damage, close to the truck, nothing to hit during the drop, high BTUs, two more stems for later, light dusting of snow and a beautiful drive home..... You sure you weren't out there filming an Old Milwaukee commercial?!?!?!?!
Looks like like a fine day in the woods. I took a little walk this afternoon and found a couple nice beech that were pushed over with the dozer so next weekend will be a trip to the beech. Had I known it was there I may have went yesterday, but instead I split about 1.5 cords of stuff that I had sitting at home so only have about 5 more cord to split. Hey now I have room for beech.
Stuckinthemud - I sure wish I had some helpers like in that commercial! Jrcurto - no snowshoes. Been a long time since I have seen grouse but they are around! LP - not 100% sure but probably white oak. The whole area was logged 2-3 years ago. It's ashame I'm just getting to cut there, since most of the logging down fall is punky now. I really fell in love with this Beech wood. Thin bark, splits easy, just a fun wood to process. Can't wait to burn it!
Looks good Bryan and not too much snow to make things interesting. Many times I wish we had some beech but the only ones we have left now are too small for firewood. They don't grow very fast either.
