No, but I can see why you might think so. It's some sort of slow growing, medium size Hawthorn planted as a hedgerow 100+ years ago behind my...
I picked up the powerhead only for $700 a few years back. Makita / Dolmar ps-7901 with a full wrap handle. A professional grade saw that keeps...
I feel your pain. I split some Norway maple last year that looks absolutely 3D, with an in-your-face curly grain pattern. Huge tree too, with...
Thanks, everyone. I'd like to have all my wood under a roof. But a shed big enough to hold 35-40 cords would be quite a project. I ought to be...
My experience with splitting rounds that have been sitting around for years is that they are surprisingly wet on the inside, but season really...
Why don't you quit being lazy and cut / stack some wood.
12'x8' footprint with a 9'-10' roof. 24" roof overhang on the low side, and about 20" on the high side. Holds about 7 cords, or about 1.5 years...
That's a sweet score. Looks a little punky at the very bottom, which is the first part to go on the dead standing ones, but otherwise very solid!...
Funny you mention that since all of the solid white ash laying around my forest are completely barkless. Perhaps the ones that kept their bark...
They want to pay you to simply drop that little thing? :) I could get that on the ground with a felling axe in about 15 minutes. But maybe they...
My normal / favorite chainsaw setup for messing around in the woods is an undersized bar and the rakers ground aggressively low. Most would say...
That's surprising. Different climate I suppose. Parts of the forest on my property were at least 50% ash. There were so many dead ones that...
Thanks! I like to mix it too, especially with white oak or elm, which are not always as dry as I'd like them to be. I just tested a split of the...
I live in the Michigan county where the emerald ash borer was first discovered in 2002. By 2003 / 2004 all of the ash on my property (about 20%...
The free wood score is fully split and stacked. Maple, oak, mulberry, apple, spruce, and a little basswood. I estimate 8 cords. I love...
The Wood Wolverine I load it in my tractor and have my wife raise me and the wood up about 5 or 6 feet in the air. I would recommend this method...
I was thinking about white oak since I fired up my big stove (Napoleon s9) for the first time today. I loaded with with two big spruce rounds and...
1. It takes twice as long to season as most firewood. Here in Michigan at least, it takes two full years to season thin splits, three years to...
80% through mega tree-service load and the stack is about 15' L x 7' W x 10' to 11' high. 8-ish cords and counting [ATTACH] I stacked the...
After about 10 hours I've got three cords split and stacked (4' x 12' x 8' stack) and another cord laying on the ground around the splitter. I'm...
