Yup. Grab some random pieces and split them again. Take the reading from the face of the fresh split.
I thought so. The maple was 3 or 4 year stuff from my father in law and the oak was 2 and 3 year stuff from my buddy that was split small. I...
Well I already realize I screwed up the post..lol.. the red oak and sugar are flipped. The oak is the higher reading.
Hopefully I can get these pictures captioned correctly but essentially, these readings prove everything I've read about seasoning times from long...
Looks good man! Snagged a dead Norway Maple a few weeks back and I'll be burning a lot of it this winter. Unfortunately, I took a bunch of junk to...
I just sold some last week on a Facebook yard sale sight. Was probably about a cord of crotches and uglies based on how it looked on the trailer....
I borrowed into the splitter club and I'm not sure how I'll ever go back. I like hand splitting but even with straight grain the hydraulics are...
Indeed. Both of our dads are always helping out. From what I burned last year, I was more impressed with the sugar maple than the red oak. Both...
Maybe I should change my name to drvn4maple.. The wife and I went home for the weekend and her dad had dropped and bucked a standing dead sugar...
That's a lot of work and those are some really nice stacks!
Staying in St Ignace but will be bouncing around all over. I used to be up there all the time in 02/03 when I drove all over the country. Always...
Easy to handle plus they're nice and straight. I'll trade you for some gnarly 20" maple :D:D
Indeed.. Great reminder though..
Not cheap either.
I believe "tipping fees" might be a term regarding dump fees at landfills or compost sights in that area of the country?? I used to hear that a...
The wife and I are taking a vacation up in the UP this July. Hope it's green by then!
That's how we do it. I'm up now..lol.. Great guy I've known for 15 years.. Now we need a nice heavy dump trailer..:hair:
Have this locust left to split and the trailer load of junk I'm getting rid of next monday. All of the light color in the last pic is punk. Almost...
Got it all done today except the last of the locust because it started raining again. The Hackberry and locust will be a little over a cord when...
Love it. The locust was pretty easy by hand but was a lot easier with the splitter.. I'd buy one but my buddy said to just use his rather than...
