My son, age 10, was out helping me with wood all weekend. I took a small pallet and put some sides on it and told him it was a "VIP pallet". Of...
With 30 acres to cut from I've never bought wood - until this week. I figured I was so far behind, I'd never catch up. A friend offered me...
If someone's gonna try to sell me a "face cord" measuring 4' high by 8' long, the pieces all better be 4' long too. A cord is a cord is a cord,...
Love those cabinets! I had hickory cabinets in my former house, not that rustic, but I loved the colors and patterns in the wood. Hickory is a...
Well, at this point, the phone company gets to absorb 100% of the cost to hire a specialist. However, I imagine that it will simply get passed on...
My dad stopped by my house last night and said that he spotted a crew from Asplundh heading up the line for a look. He caught up with them and...
Yeah, the TruFuel was a hell of a deal, compared to any other price I have seen. Since it has a 5-year shelf life, I bought ten cases. Canned...
Any maple, even box elder or silver maple, is decent firewood. I have a couple cords of both for 2016-2017 already.

I've burned scraps out of my wood shop for years, and the equilibrium MC is usually around 9-12% depending on the season. The shop has a floor...
Y'all think that's funny but it happened to a guy I used to work with. I worked for an engineering company with a surveying department, and I...

I'd guess hickory. One of the smooth barked types. Mockernut or pignut?
Have you tried thinner boards yet? How does 4/4 or 5/4 stock work with a Granberg mill?
Well, after several automated e-mails and one phone call to the right place, they are sending a technician out to look at the "problem". They're...
The record is in excess of eight feet in diameter. The Wye oak in Maryland, before it fell, was over 10'. I have a couple more white oaks in...
Ok, maybe not. However, I have been giving lengthy consideration to coming up with a "better way" to sharpen my saw chains for years. I started...
I came home yesterday to find that a big silver maple (18" or so) had blown over and landed right in the driveway where I normally park a car....
I think I'd own a chainsaw even if I lived in an apartment. As for my place - it wouldn't exist. Couldn't have developed my property or built...
OK here ya go. This is actually the smaller of the two massive white oaks in this part of the woods. The other, about 100' northeast of this...
