The burlap looks like a good idea. I read about some commercial products that do the same sort of job, but I suspect they're hard to get in small...
The wood has been stacked about a week and a half at this point, and I'm already seeing a lot of shallow surface checks on the top two boards....
The stickers are very dry, and too small to meaningfully cove out that way. I've seen the same idea. I might shift them an inch or two after a few...
Thanks, Shawn. I've read a bit about commercial and solar kiln drying, but those methods grant you so much more control over the drying...
My neighbor took down a nice tree recently, and from it I have six hard-won slabs about 7' long, 2' wide and 2 1/4"" thick. They're very heavy,...
Dang, I just bought one a couple of weeks ago. Great deal!
The problem is that even though he likes them clean, Kenis also likes to run his saws. That would be a very expensive first tank of gas.
I haven't done it, but I've read about it being done with lumber. It takes a lot of electricity so it would be a costly way to dry firewood. Also...
Not mine, but I've met this guy and ran the saw briefly. Husqvarna 562XP - $375 (Greentree) [IMG] [IMG][IMG][IMG]...

I'm sure I could, but it wouldn't be worth the trouble to carry it out. The only exit from the back yard that doesn't include going across the...
Thanks, guys. I'm sure I could clean up most or all of the fallen part, but if this were my tree -- badly damaged, newly unbalanced and leaning...
Good eye, there is an old brick patio with wood railings directly underneath the butt of the broken section. I'm not to worried about that. My...
I doubt it. The tree is still alive, and anyhow Pittsburgh's weather hasn't been nearly as dry as some places this summer. The tree is just a...
Oh, absolutely. It's tempting to look at it as a fun challenge, but the risk:reward ratio doesn't look so hot.
He might be okay with that if not for the likelihood that Mother Nature would take care of the neighbor's deck at the same time. I don't know the...
There's room to drop it, but it's got a slight lean going the wrong way. I could put put a rope up into it, but there isn't much in the yard to...
