It pops up as available more than oak but less than maple. Hard to know if it just isn’t valued by arborists so they don’t keep it for themselves,...
You articulately summarize what was bouncing around in my brain. After eight years the tree still seemed so solid. No one is benefitting from that...
buZZsaw BRAD Not too cold. It’ll maybe get below freezing 10-12 days a year? But the “summer” season isn’t too long…we easily could’ve burned...
OK WAY less than 1/4 cord :rofl: :lol: Used an old 10lb maul for the first time (it’s all I had around at the moment)…man that’s a workout. A...
FBM score, 15min away. Black locust, slightly covered, sort of on the ground, sitting for eight years! 99.5% was solid. Bark falling off like a...
So cool!
Is the first picture the sunrise? Or taken from the Strait of Georgia?
This is well said…I edited and re-edited my first response several times and was flummoxed. I think Hawaii and Alaska are cheating. They’re too...
Yellowstone is hands down my top choice. Most destinations have one or two special qualities; Yellowstone has many. Geologic phenomenons,...
Relieved to see your processing area is filling back up. We’ve been worried about you!
My neighbor is a maniac in the best possible way. I was done with a beaten down wheelbarrow, and he said he wanted it. It was far worse than what...
Something must be in the air. There were all kinds of wheelbarrows at the dump when I went on Sunday. It was weird. I’m pretty good in the...
Update: the tree was taken down a year ago, so it’s at least a couple more years until it’s ready. If anything I need to add to the front of my...
Free eucalyptus just popped up a few miles from me. Not too much—approx. 30 rounds—and some of it looks like it’s bucked too short. I also have so...
That pool cover would be perfect for a GIANT holzhausen! Edit: oh man I just saw that Joe made that same joke a month ago. C’mon Jiminy—you’re...
I live thousands of miles away but I still read the thread, 100% interested in what’s happening. It really is a sickness. :rofl: :lol: Nice score!
I’m a hand splitter too. I don’t process enough wood to come close to justifying going hydro (yet). I’m also pretty stingy about some things, so...
Yeah I’ve split a fair amount of it by hand and haven’t had that issue with the bark.
There’s a museum in Eastern PA that I think a lot of folks here would find worthwhile: Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle Tons of pre-industrial...
That would be an expensive fence that would depreciate over time. Your wall just cost a bunch of labor and is appreciating in value. Plus, at...
