Have had a Fiskars hatchet for years. They call it the X7 now but mine predates that. It goes with me everywhere I am doing woods work.
Nothing a can of spray paint can't fix. All my woods tools are some garish combination of bright blue, orange, yellow, red or lime green,...
Ring shake. Had a silver maple exhibit that last fall when bucking into firewood. Nice clean 3" diameter core running 30' up the tree.
I'd love to tackle that monster. Time, patience and the right tools. All the best advice has already been given. That's over a cord of wood...
Every time someone mentions apple, I start thinking about smoking meat. :grizz: :drool:
I used to own a Woodmizer mill and sold it, been thinking for several years I needed another mill. I just want it for sawing lumber for my own...
I'm expecting 5 cords this week for $500 delivered, I will update as to what I get for quality, size and species.
Uglies store nicely in IBC tote cages; because they don't stack well, they're at least contained.
I just dumped half a cord of them in my wood shed for the next week or two's worth of heat. The only downside is handling them. It's one or two...
They cleared land for the local Walmart construction a few years back. Maybe 10-12 acres? A mix of black cherry, black locust and cottonwood. I...
I'm guessing that's probably tamarack (larch). All of your description and pictures point in that direction, although my experience has been that...
Yeah batch burning is a great way to go, if you have the ability to store the heat. I know a guy that installed a pair of 1000-gallon used...
I'm in the same boat you are. I always make plans to get ahead with firewood, but I never seem to have the time. I have tons of wood, it's...
To respond to the OP - the punky stuff on the outside of the oak is fine, as long asthe heartwood is nice and dry. For a gasification OWB, you're...
In this part of Vermont it's nearly impossible to actually find someone locally selling wood, let alone black locust. I live very close to NY...
Never used a vertical splitter so I don't know if I'd like it or not. I would guess probably not, since I don't like the constant sit/stand/bend....
Lately I find myself researching NOAA historical weather data for exactly that reason - to plan vacations and time off so that I have decent days...
Heard of it but up here in VT is way outside it's range. We have red and white mostly, with occasional pin oaks mostly as landscape trees, and I...
You sure that's elm? Does not have the canopy shape of an elm. Looks more like a big ol' cottonwood to me.
Norway maple.
