Wow! Is it a bit early, or is this normal there? Still in the 70's here. We usually don't get any snow until December anyway. If we get any.
Yep. Usually easy splitting and quick drying.
Equipment makes everything better!
Burns completely. Love cherry.
There are a few more good ones to get, but several are close to the road and leaning that way too. Those I will leave. I hope to get a few more....
You were ground zero for the borer? We got it here maybe 10-15 years ago, although these trees do not appear to have been dead that long.
Works great.
Love it. Very strong saw. I have had it for about 2-3 years and it has been great. It is a little heavier than some 60cc saws, but it is powerful...
Yes! Actually have hit this woodlot a few times this week, time permitting. Quite a few dead ash, some pretty big. Snowing again now...
Worked in a woodlot just down the street with a number of dead ash trees and some buckthorn[ATTACH] . Here are some pictures. Cut them to dump...

Snow is at least a foot here, drifts obviously deeper. Makes everything more difficult. My neighbor and I work together quite a bit with wood...
I will split some tomorrow and see what it is. Going to -5 here tonight. Need to warm it some to test it. Don't plan to burn it for at least 2 years.
[ATTACH]couple hours in the neighbors woods culling some hickory's that are crowding some ancient bur oaks. More to get.
Yes, hickory. Not sure which one. Don't think shagbark.
You will need to try the gun and maybe have someone who knows what they are doing see how it fits as well. The Montefeltro does not mount...
Yep. That 2011 storm was something. Snow drifted to the top of my garage door. Had to shovel enough to get my snowmobile out so I could ride to...
