I am a huge fan of the Atlas/Showa gloves. I have both the blue and grey(little insulation). Kincos makes the frost breakers with more insulation....
Brad, with all the wood you hoard have you ever thought of a hydraulic splitter to makes things quicker(and easier on the body?)
That's some perfect looking, easy to split wood right there. Easy getting too
After looking it up, KCT is used as an urban ornamental. This one happened to be in a back yard, it was blown over, branches were very brittle,...
Those are some pretty stacks, it's a shame you have to burn all that
Looks like some nice straight rounds you have there, should make for some nice splits. Others have said, BL grows in small groves here and there....
Looks like a tiny bit of punk starting to set in, but still good to burn.
Not what I wanted to hear, I have a fireplace also. Is it that bad? I guess I'll have to find a few splits to try for myself and see
It is scary how much the two species look alike after seeing your pictures, I thought for a sec that I miss ID'd mine.
Slo Yes sir, don't come across it to often but now I know what it is.
I know what it is but figure I would throw this out there for people to sharpen their ID skills,came across a few weeks ago, took some home....
Going to follow this for sure. I love oaks but hate the drying time associated with them
If we are talking about addictions , may as well mention those sharp axe things some of us use to split wood sometimes.
A Like others have said if you are thinking of making some for firewood... don't. It is a terrible wood, even with Hydraulics. I wonder what it...
I love me some Sass!! It is my go to for lighting a fire, it goes on right after the red cedar shingle splits.
That might be the perfect Sugar maple trunk for splitting, great score. I'm jealous of all your BL posts.
Nice pictures. Love hemlock for the firepit
I want to say Sugar maple like others but a few pieces look like Polpar. Have you cut any yet, is it soft?
Looks some nice hoarding you have going on there. Hard to tell what the big rounds are, can you get a closer pic?
Very nice :thumbs:
