I my area, many were planted for use as fence posts and timbers for the area canals. Most of the Osage Oranges around me are almost more of a bush...
Good move to get out of there quick. I did the same thing when I was cutting them, but still had a few times of a closer call than I wanted. In...
Just be careful of those branches up top. As the tree starts over, they will tend to break off and come straight down... And, as you saw,...
Didn't do wood as a kid. We had a fireplace that my father would get wood for occasionally. Grandparents had a coal burning stove in the front...
I put a like on this post early on, and I'm sticking to it. Black gum. Tupelo. Nyssa sylvatica. All the same tree, called something different,...
Yes, it was a big chunk... The broken piece was 36" in diameter a few feet out from the break, and the entire piece was 98' long, with a lot of...

The Speeco specs for the 4 way used to say it's to be used in softwoods only. I bought one for my 22 ton, and it strains on even fairly straight...

The hull has the lines of a Lyman. Should work well on Lake Erie's steep chop! :cheers:
I see that where it fell seems to be on the top of a ridge, or at least a higher area? Maybe drier than other areas? Please let us know, as...
Around my area, I have seen hard maple hold up for several years on the ground. That would be either sugar or black maple. Black maple is...
+1 I'm leaning towards maple, but if it has the rays, there is no doubt it's oak. In the first pic, I do not see any rays on the end grain.
My very first wood stove(about 40 years ago) was a barrel stove with a 10 and a 15 gallon barrel. It was piped out of a window of the mobile home...
I would say swamp white oak if it was in my area. Sometimes can be mistaken for shagbark hickory. Quercus bicolor (Black Oak, Oaks, Swamp White...
