Maybe 40 years ago. From what I remember, fresh red oak weighs about 30 pounds a cubic foot. 36" diameter by 20" long is about 12 cubic feet. I...

I'm sorry but clean red oak like that preempts all other errands. I'll face the wrath of SWMBO later. It's warm outside so she doesn't think...
I was running some errands and luckily I had the pickup. Saw a homeowner cleaning up around where a red oak had been taken down the day before....

That stroke reducer will only work on the OEM version of the DHT splitters (The ones sold by DHT or landscaping/tree service suppliers). It will...

My old Godin, 10kw, multi-fuel stove: [IMG] It was originally installed during the oil embargoes, late '70s. It is multi-fuel. It can burn...
I have friends that burn pre-EPA stoves pretty clean. They season their wood and don't cut-off the air to get longer burns. The temperature is...
