I never have covered stacks. It is all gone every year and is @ 20% moisture by November. This was split Feb-March. Burns pretty good for...
I process black walnut all the time into firewood. Splits easy, burns with a nice blue flame and makes wood workers go bonkers.[ATTACH]
EAB will follow the same path as the Dutch elm disease. The pathogen will wipe out virtually all the trees and the vector in this case Emerald...

My logger buddies called 3 weeks ago and told me to "come get some wood" as they were in the area. I turned them down, I've got enough for the...
