10x12, almost half of it has wood sitting on it now.
Most of what I have this year is hard maple. I'm seeing online calculations that completely unseasoned maple is around 4500lbs per full cord....
During shoulder season, I make my fire kind of like it's a soup recipe depending on how fast I need to get it going, and what I have the most of...
The leaves looked like a birch pattern. The leaves are gone now where I live.
There are a couple of mature yellow birch growing close by so maybe you're on to something.
I have probably 100 of these growing in a swampy part of my property. The trunks are underwater most of the time. Very orange looking wood grain...
Thanks! Nope on the mortises and tenons. It's plenty solid enough without them in my opinion. I'll pull out the level in the spring to see if the...
10x12. Started this in mid-July just picking away at it a little at a time. Had to do a lot of prep. It was on a decent slope, so had to bring in...
I have the Harbor Freight 20 ton where the wedge is bi-directional. Super fast if you have 2-3 people operating it, but still great when operated...
5 degrees C (low 50's F). Beginning of shoulder season here. Burning spruce, basswood, and a little bit of sugar maple just so I have some coals....
I intentionally seek out some spruce every year and put it in a separate pile. I use it to get the woodstove going in the winter when I need to...
Exactly what I do. I almost never pick the same log off the ground more than once. I split where I bucked the logs and then load it directly into...
Did that yesterday with ash actually! Burned nice.
Where I am if a hardwood tree goes down in a bad storm anywhere near a road, I can guarantee that it's going to be bucked and taken away by...
Great trade! I think if I had extra time on my hands and a limited supply of wood I would've paid $100 for the oak though.
It's funny seeing other people burning wood for heat already and I got so envious that I fired up mine while it's almost 65 degrees outside with a...
Once someone pointed out that I had a lot of basswood on my property I felt disappointed, but it's actually very good shoulder season wood and...
Not basswood for sure, the leaves are much bigger and heart shaped. I also have some mulberry and the leaves look a little close to that but I'm...
Basswood for sure. I recognize the big leaves and the round seeds. Never heard anyone calling them an ornamental, but I guess so. I just find...
Looked like a great day! How old were those rounds? They look well on their way to being seasoned.
