You won't find Honeycrisp in the wild. The breeding stock only dates back to 1991 from the University of Minnesota and is only recently becoming...
My first thought was black locust, since it is also that yellow color. However, I don't think locust has the white sapwood. It's yellowish-green...
My wife had a bit of a hissy fit when she found out I let the youngest son run my saw last year (he's now 12). This year I intend to have him use...
I cut everything to 20" lengths. My OWB can handle much larger pieces but my wife and kids generally can't, so I keep the wood smaller. I get...
Sugar maple. Still, good stuff.
My experience has been that wood dries almost as fast in the winter, if kept under cover, as it does in the summer. The dry winter air helps a lot.
6 cords ready to burn under roof. Another 6 cords under roof but probably not ready until spring. Another 6 cords under roof in reserve,...
For that much firewood, especially tops which are probably jackstrawed all over the place, you're going to need heavy equipment. My first...
I buy a case at a time, or more, every time bar oil goes on sale at Tractor Supply. It's $6 a gallon right now.

Well I got the saw fired up but my plans changed abruptly on Saturday. Instead of heading up in the woods to cut some good firewood for myself, I...
Supposed to be in the high 50's, low 60's here over the weekend, dipping down into the 30's at night, fall has finally arrived! Couple of sunny...
I like the improvements you made to that Husky. :yes:
I just want to say I appreciate that wicked high quality hand rail you got on your steps. Just like mine.
OK this one's definitely got me curious. I have a decent stack of larger apple logs - up to 8" in diameter and 16-20" long. Obviously I'm not...
I'm less than a mile from NY as the crow flies, and only about 15 miles from MA. I can't get wood from either place, but I can drive 40 miles...
Might be an old wives tale but some people you just can't convince. In my case, it's my father. He is absolutely certain that burning any...
I have access to as much white birch and black birch as I can cut. On my property and nearby, yellow birch is rare, but I can go ten miles away...
That mess doesn't really look too bad from my perspective, I'd be cleaning up everything I could from the side the camera is on, and then drop the...
Market that stuff to any restaurants you can find with a wood-fired oven or BBQ smoker. My son works at a place that cooks most of their meats...
