I'll lean towards the birch camp too, maybe black birch. As M2theB mentioned, scratch the bark. Even fairly dry, it will still smell of...
There was one thing I noticed and loved about the day yesterday. It was the constant smell of wood being chopped, sawed, cut and split, all...
I was there a couple of times when it was in Nelsonville! I have not been there since. The weather today was perfect. And the amount of...
I'm in Cambridge right now.
Really, that sounds about right for oak. I season oak uncovered for 3 years at least to get the moisture content below 20%. Nice stacks and...
Farmers cut?

If you want to try trapping that groundhog, I have found that cantaloupe seems to work well for bait. You decide what to do after you have...

I started in the 1970's when I moved to the southern coast of Oregon. I had a single barrel stove in a trailer, with the stack going out the...
I live in the EAB GZ area. I could not agree more with the above statement. They get brittle fast, and since the tops have no weight, they do not...
The old Fels Naptha soap works to get the urushiol off of skin and clothing. There's more modern things too, but they tend to be a lot more...
No. I'm in the middle of the city... Lot is not big enough and it's not allowed inside the city. And the dump is at least 10 miles away. I...
