My experience from this year hand splitting: red oak---the drier rounds are definitely easier to split, the bigger green rounds take a lot of...
I found it while scrounging.
I don't really know what to do with it Brad. Any suggestions? It's kind of like half petrified, half mummified. Or something.
Could this be a cedar tree spine? Not sure. Really flexible and not brittle. About 30' long, 25 lbs. It was interesting enough to drag back to...
I went back and split the rest. It was easy and still very wet at 30% plus. Like someone said I hit the window of time. The trunk is in the pic....
I had a sweet gum tree near the driveway break off half way up during some recent winds. I cut it up and just for fun made some splits. I always...
Guy down the road wanted this hauled off. One red oak and a smaller white oak. The red oak stump is around 30". All the wood is about 300' from...
Nice. I know the general area around Lake Sinclair back from my fishing tournament days.
Nice stacks and shed. Thanks for the ideas. Where in GA are you with all the water oak? Only red, white and blackjack up here.
Sweet gum. Pulling the stumps is a huge chore also. Roots to China.
Thanks for all the comments. I'm new at this but knew that was WAY too much wood. Just thought I'd try it out. Seems to me that I inherited...
Don't see it much here. Kids and full-grown kids love it! I saw people kickin' around up by the road that I didn't even know live around here....
Ct, we have a lot in common. Wife and I moved in about a year ago and inherited a similar situation. I have found tow chains, a maul head,...
I've just been using a cheap 10 lb fiberglass handle maul from Ace Hardware. I can usually crack open 20"-24" rounds in four or five good whacks...
Ah, should have searched first. Sorry.
Anybody here ever try making their own lump charcoal for grilling? I have plenty of lumps, chips and a burn barrel. YouTube makes it look easy....
Thanks for all the input. I like all suggestions for different reasons. Leaning towards quick and cheap painted tin for now.
Does anybody have any ideas for stack covers that are decorative? Spouse dislikes my tin roof covering, which seem to work pretty well.
Although not man-made, I thought the three rocks embedded in the white oak were pretty cool.
Good morning and Happy New year to all! I 'm nearly done with the three fallen red oaks I found here. Looks like I'll get about 2 cords from the...
