If you plan on poly, maybe try a bar top epoxy instead. Or the Varathane Triple-Thick poly available at Homey D.
If I want charcoal I fill my outdoor wood boiler up with good wood - oak, cherry or apple - and wait until I get a hard burn cycle. Then I go in...
Good day folks, I've been waffling about buying a new sawmill for years now, sold my old Woodmizer LT-30 over a decade ago and wish I hadn't....
I still have a lot of healthy ash on my property. No EAB yet. I'm hoping it stays that way.
Hop Hornbeam, no doubt.
Honeysuckle is great firewood. If the pieces are big enough they go on the stacks. Also have put buckthorn and wild grapevines in my wood pile.
Am not Brad but yes, that is black locust.
For that kind of wood I'd take the trash too. I have access to a chipper and I also enjoy the occasional brush pile bonfire a couple times a year...
The inside and the bark in the fourth picture look like cherry to me. Cherry can be a bear to split sometimes.
Golden Rain Tree. Invasive species, introduced to the US in the late 1700's. Not sure about the use as firewood. I've never seen one in the wild.
Where did you get the load? I'm thinking about buying a truckload for next year (21/22) and whoever delivered to you oughta be able to deliver to...
The nice thing about black locust is that if you have it split, stacked and off the ground, it will be fine for your great-great-grandchildren to...
I've been using the Instant Pot sous vide function three or four times a week now since I got it. It makes cooking difficult cuts of meat almost...
Hard to say, because my old stove was in use year-round. I burned 12-14 full cords a year, but the use was very much weather dependent. I relied...
So far about 5-1/2 full cords. Maybe six. I know my shed holds five even, but I've burned a few tractor bucket loads of odds and ends too.
The closest RD to me is in Albany. I think you might be better off going to Costco up in Colchester, though. It is worth it if you have a ton of...
I'm not sure what defines 'northern' but here in VT I have loads of red oak. And white oak. And even chestnut oak, which is rare in VT. Might...
I have about three days of wood left in the wood shed now. I have to haul some in this weekend, fortunately I have another 4 cords ready to go,...
I eat bacon every single day. Might only be a slice or two to grease the pan, but it's part of a ketogenic diet. I shop at Restaurant Depot and...
:( I'm screwed. I'm down to my last 1/8 of my firewood. I do have more but it's out in the snow. I've gone through almost 5 cords since late...
