Worst firewood ever for me is willow.
Yep, that is a monster mulberry, I guess largest I've seen. That metal is a PITA! I cut down a small mulberry today, probably 7" diameter, was too...
I am splitting some elm that is doing that very thing. Pretty much no good but I'll burn most of it myself. Also full of termites and ants and...
I note that this fellow does something interesting... when bucking his pile of logs, he lines them up flush somehow and when he bucks, he just...

"Then I'll pick up 3 or 4 slices and turn them. Once again take 1" slices all the way across." I think you explained it well. Except not sure...
We have a bazillion sweetgums and black gums here. I would be very surprised if that tree is sweetgum and not black gum. To me, it looks exactly...
I go to Nashville often, maybe I will buy some, lol.
No, maybe I should start a firewood business there, lol. Nah, it's even warmer than it is here. Speaking of tips, I got a $25 tip on a $100...
Too funny! Let us know the outcome down the way!
