The splits of elm on the right came from my coworker’s property in Cromwell. They’ve been stacked since March. Everything I got from you will stay...
Another nice load of that American Elm nobody wants besides probably a dozen of us on the forum :D All courtesy of buZZsaw BRAD . Thanks again! I...
White oak definitely makes my ears perk up, but you seem to have no trouble at all scrounging all sorts of wood in your area for free. I’d let it...
Looks like American Elm to me. The bark varies a bit depending on location.
Whenever you fall, I’ll be there for you ~ The Ground :cool: Sorry Mike, I know your pain all too well myself.
Who here has done it and had some success? I recently found out about the process and want to try it myself this upcoming spring. The tree I had...
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for another “real” winter this year, preferably one that wields at least one major storm that keeps me home from...
I've never heard of sugar maple being called "sweet maple", however any time I score any kind of maple I think it's pretty sweet :thumbs: The only...
The one ugly crotch section of Bradford pear I got back in the winter didn’t really “split”. It more or less shattered into a pile of unstackable...
That spot is already filled up since! I don’t have a recent picture but here’s what it looked like in early July. Since then the space has been...

Last summer I built a retaining wall from railroad ties, 3 tiers high. After laying the first course, I drilled 3/4" holes through in 3 spots in...
My stacks are indicative of how much time I had when I built them. As I’m sure many can relate/remember, regular life with raising a family,...
Every day on my ride to work I pass a couple stands of dead elm on the side of the highway. They’ve been dead all of 15 years (or longer) and...
Sweet! That silver maple “branch” is about as big as the regular trees around here I scrounge :)
Alright, alright... my wheels are turning... I think I might have an idea for what to fill these antique bottles with that would be absolutely...
Secret Santa? I can go back and get the others. They’re only about 2 and a half miles into the woods :D
I’m assuming it’s a felling wedge based on the shallow angle. I know the one splitting wedge I own has a steeper angle to help pop the rounds apart.
I “scored” today :) While driving along a windy backroad, I spotted this 6 foot wooden step ladder tossed over the guardrail. I stopped and loaded...
