I agree it can’t be any type of hickory. Hickory doesn’t dry that fast and when it is dry it isn’t lightweight. Bark looks like basswood to me....
It’s been reported sporadically in different areas. That’s another great reason to kill these host trees. I’m always on the lookout for either the...
After two years of these nasty tree of heavens being girdled, they’re starting to snap and fall down :) There’s a nice hole in the canopy and a...
Poor cow. [ATTACH]

BL and the aspen my coworker is bringing over, and the beech I’m going to be hacking up at my BIL’s house in a few weeks, plus whatever scores pop...
Pile to be stacked is growing. [ATTACH] All that’s left to split are these oddball pieces. Some I’ll have to cut to length, others will end up...
Blow over from a couple months ago when we had that storm roll through near Christmas time. Same road as where I got the black oak but closer to...
15 more with a couple loads left, still ripe for the taking. Gorgeous here at 55 and sunny. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As a machinist I thought I knew a thing or two about cutter geometry. I also thought for the longest time that hand filing chains was a dumb...
He’s a bonafide wood magnet :) When he came to my house last in December I took him for a short ride to show him the black locust grove at the...
