Busy is right; Loafing all day on internet wood-nerd forums leaves me almost no time to handle my wood. :rofl: :lol:
That makes sense in light of the fact that the tree has to transport water up the tree as it grows, but it seems to me that as the ends of the...
If I don't want to split it all right away, I'll usually at least halve 'em and get the drying started, anyway..
Yeah, I noodle mostly gnarly ones. If they are just big ones, I work around the outside, slabbing off chunks until the round is small enough for...
Huh. BL coals forever for me.
