The ash was definitely fresh. I’ll bet the tree was still alive when they cut it, although it was definitely dying. Many epicormic sprouts around...
37 and burning mostly apple with one split of white oak to top it off.
State cutting, left to fertilize the forest floor. Half a load of black cherry and half of white ash. Some of the most solid ash I’ve gotten in a...

There is a small American chestnut sprout near the road a couple driveways down from your storage area. :) I spotted it when I got that load of...
I do believe that’s another Chinese chestnut Brad. You can see some of last year’s burs still hanging in the canopy. Edit: could be Japanese...
Excellent score. To the untrained eye I can see how someone could confuse catalpa with fresh cut mulberry. Both are “weed” trees.
43 and drizzling. Spruce, apple and a little white oak up tonight.
I like it a lot myself. Great shoulder season wood that dries fast and burns hot like pine, but without the sappy mess to deal with. I’ll take...
4 more red oak rounds today. Not bad for the 15 minute window I had to get them. Might get more on Sunday if it’s not all frozen to the ground....
Around 12” give or take. They dried out nicely too, for just under 2 years sitting in the center section of a shaded stack.
Averaged about 3-4"
I had a small pile of elm cookies from April 2021 that I burned a few weeks ago. I kid you not, they split themselves :eek: When I dug them out of...
Methinks I should continue the dead oak hoarding at least for the short term. One can't really have too much oak firewood. I might cut a little...
Looks like elm to me Mike. Have you burned any yet? I know you're a hand splitter, so if for some reason after drying in the round you can't bust...
That's great you had a nice visit with Brad. I can attest to his generosity and natural willingness to help someone out any way he can, simply...
I guess I'm saving all of it? :confused: I have loose plans for each stack/species with regards to when I want to burn it and what I might want to...
I’m still impressed that oak dried as fast as it did, and through the monsoon summer of 2021 no less. It’s time I bring in more firewood myself....
No shortage of locust down here ;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Humbled red oak it is. :headbang: I cut 5 rounds and walked away. Still debating what I want to do with the rest. There's a couple more red oak...
