Man I wish I had that near me. Here in New England, everyone wants money for the junk and even more money for the good stuff. Tree services all...
Got the youngest son (he'll be 13 this coming Sunday) to put in some time on the firewood hoard. Set up right with proper PPE, but the kid...
Not really firewood, but seen at the NY State Fair this past week. Pretty cool chunk of history, pardon the pun. [ATTACH]
My vote is black locust. Especially with the bark peeling off like that and it being so rough. Mulberry bark looks a lot more like ash or box...
I got my hands on some yew last year and I'm saving all the large pieces for woodturning. Going to make tool handles for my chisels out of yew,...
My best success is a ring of bright BLUE tree marking paint around trees you want to cut. I have found trees with blue paint, years after they...
I have a smaller chestnut oak that's in similar condition. I will have to be extra careful knowing that the sapwood can be that punky.
I think I can solve the sharp edges problem with an angle grinder and a flap disc. Maybe paint the cut ends with some rubberized coating? I have...
I would buy a big farm somewhere, and farm until the money was gone.

I really wanted to go but had other obligations. Going to head to the New England Forestry Expo in Essex Junction VT in the spring, maybe I'll...

Very nice. The handle looks original? I doubt I'd trust it with too heavy a load, as it looks like there is a knot about halfway up on it....
My fist fire in my current outdoor wood boiler was January 4, 2017. Still burning. I use it for hot water year round, and when I am not heating...
I had one that size attached to the fascia of my garage last year. Didn't bother anyone until late summer, then they started getting aggressive...
I'm OK with cold. This summer hasn't been too hot, actually been out splitting and stacking which I don't normally bother with until late...
I only have about 6 cords currently C/S/S, all for this season, consisting of pine, black locust, ash, beech and white oak. Another 3-4 cords in...
I hate to see nice straight clean maple logs, especially one that big, turned into firewood, but there's no advantage to putting effort into...
Artisan Clicker Pen Kit | Pen Making | Craft Supplies USA One of many possibilities. I am a turner but do not have my lathe set up, my shop is...
Here's a picture of my current processing area and the pile of rot I'm working through. This wood has been sitting here for the better part of...
