Great idea for the chunkies. It's always a pain to find somewhere to put them.
Those logs should make some real nice boards. That tractor sure makes things easier:thumbs:
Kind of what I was thinking
Please tell us the story behind this!!!
Have done similar trips on different occasions, very cool country.
I'll second Swamp White Oak. One of my favorite trees
I am going with a little over 2 cord. Are they hand climbing or using a bucket truck? I guess $1350.
Stuff can happen that fast, even with you fully focused and paying attention. Glad it wasn't worse. Heal up quickly!!
My guess is a little under a cord all said and done
Yup, that's Hophornbeam for sure. Ostrya Virginiana. I saved a piece from the chipper a few weeks ago. Have a bunch of saplings scattered around...
First thought seeing the end grain was Oak, but bark seemed a little thin. Beech it is. It looks ready to burn!!!
Closest guess I can think of is hickory, as others have said. I have never seen that coloring in the heart wood though. Very cool find!!
We had a storm back in late October, rain and high winds. This storm was bad for oak trees or anything that still had leaves on it. Most trees...
First pic I was convinced it was oak, but after looking at the splits I am going with cherry. I have come across dead cherry that looked a lot...
Split looks like it could be Mulberry as brad said, Also looks like a cherry split. The bark is interesting though.
WOW!! What a difference. Your stone mason does some very nice work.
And he is probably thinking he did good, got it on the ground. The next time it may wind up not so good.
That's definitely Beech. I agree with others, wood looks different though
The rounds in the first three pics are Hemlock. The one with the axe in it looks like ash as others have said
413,000 acres!!! I can't even imagine that. My in laws were in town from Arizona beginning of July and said they had 20 active wildfires out...
