Alright, took some pictures over the past few days of my progress and while out cutting I spotted an oak(?), that looks close to death. The one...
Some straight stuff in there, you could probably get decent board lengths out of some of them if you were into that business.
Red oak I think? And transplanting an 8' oak is a difficult task.
Yeah that's pine, maybe sugar pine. Regardless, get more.:thumbs:
x2 However you have a lot more waiting then I do.:thumbs:
Makes really good shoulder season wood.:yes:
If you can't afford the splitter a wedge is a good idea. It's basically shaped like an axe head and you push it into the wood by pounding it with...
Funny thing is Red Elm is the easier of the Elms to split with a maul.:rofl: :lol:

Done! Sunday morning actually.:thumbs:
Yeah those are definitely black birch trees. The leaves and the bark looks the same, I have a decent stand of them near that beech tree. I may cut...

Some good btus there.:thumbs:
Those two bottom right y shaped pieces. Fairly certain that's white elm. From the looks you may have branches and maybe some other logs around it....
Definitely looks like white elm. Good firewood but a bear to split.:yes:
:drool: I'd pay to have that much fun.:thumbs:
In that last picture do I see some white elm? DED killed elm?
I burn hemlock which is only slightly above white pine in btus. It's decent if you mix it in or it's near the end of the shoulder season. Burns...
Sometimes cutting the trunk first can cause a roll over so as you said it should always be analyzed.
Cant help but try. Even though it's probably hopeless.
