Looks like red maple from here. Some up close and clear pictures would confirm/disprove it.
You nailed it Scotty. :yes: 2 year black locust on the right, and today’s large mulberry on the left. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The only good thing about all the skinnies I scrounged in the spring is that I can burn them this winter with the dry wood from this score. Now...
Man… those logs were BONE dry after I cut and split them. Never saw whole logs that dry inside before. Ended up leaving a few unsplit as they...

Big thanks to buZZsaw BRAD for the lead, about 20 minutes from home. The perfect sized Chevy Colorado load of white mulberry. A few large rounds...
Thanks, that looks just like the huge mulberry at the bottom of my street. Next time you’re up here I’ll show it to you.

At the end of this raised bed I have a couple cinder blocks where I grow marigolds each year, to attract the pollinators. Behind that the sweet...
Tabasco peppers are just starting to come into their prime. That’s a small planter box full of black locust seedlings behind it too, the largest...
Half joking. They didn’t hire a small army for a dog and pony show. It’ll be really interesting to see who they end up going after, and for what....
Well Brad, if we don’t hear from you ever again I’ll assume one of the 87,000 new armed recruits came for you in the small hours of the night....
Based on the description of small leaves I’ll agree with your Siberian elm verdict. Red elm has the largest leaves of the 3 species mentioned. I...
The red elms have a very coarse feel to the leaves, almost like 150 grit sandpaper. The one in my backyard has leaves that vary in size from about...
Beautiful setup Joe. :thumbs: Between the mantel, the derringers on the wall, the marksmanship trophies, the Bavarian cuckoo clock (I have almost...
This little scrap of flat sawn American chestnut is a deep look into the past. It made its way to me through an old retired coworker that mills...
