As fast as native cottonwoods grow, it’s almost scary how fast they claim these hybrids mature.
Stuff is light and cuts stupid fast so I'm sure your sawmill guy would have a ball with it. I'll bet it's fine for building non load-bearing walls...
Yeah a lot of people call it poplar, which is fitting because it's in the populus family alongside cottonwood. In Michigan they call it popple. I...
That be aspen Joe, looks like bigtooth aspen to me based on the leaf. Burns hot and fast.
Dead, almost ready to burn, and clean to boot! Doesn't get much better.
Thanks, much appreciated. Absolutely :handshake:
A cautionary tale about table saw milling: The other day while in the middle of a cut, something went very wrong. The log grabbed, things moved...
Looking good! I suppose now is a great time to get the fuel ready. I have about 3/4 face cord of aspen split small and set aside for 2024 so far....

I went on 2nd shift a few weeks back. It’s nice in the summer time to spend the best part of the day with my kids. Unfortunately I’m not around...
Looked what popped up in the woods almost 2 years after I buried it. A tiny swamp white oak :banana: Small miracle considering I buried hundreds...
Hickree?
My thoughts exactly. I’m assuming it’s a backstop for chootin’ but what do I know?
I’m not even a huge fan of pine myself but that video showing all those roadside piles had me almost drooling :drool:
You know me, things like this drive me nuts :loco: :crazy: I knew right away it was a hybrid in the white oak family, and knew there are only 2...
