Well, I hope you headed home right away!!! Cheers!
That's pretty good price delivered - guy in my hometown has an add for $350/cord of mixed hardwoods - says the woods has been cut for 3 years -...
Glad you (an loon) didn't get bit worse - phew. I bought a used Stihl 039 a couple years ago - guy threw in a helmet and chaps and these are chaps...
Good on you for a plan to get ahead! But, I'd probably not plan on a 26 cord year - that's a whole lot of work - why not shoot for a big year -...
Ha! I must say, once these are stacked, I get so used to them over the years, that it is a little hard to break them down! Cheers!
Thanks Shawn - No rounds (well, maybe a few, but hardly any) - I set the rounds aside and stack in single rows. Forklift would be nice! Stuck with...
So true - amazing how much weight they lose and always feels funny to grab those big ones and feel the difference from when they were stacked....
Especially the oak - 4 years is awesome - I leave a lot of big square splits - they take some serious time to dry well, but dang they burn for a...
Thanks! They'll look cleaner tomorrow with a big load of white fluffy covering........! Cheers!
36 h break here too - just started a fire for tonight since it's cooling back down - worked all day in a t-shirt today - nice! Cheers!
Ahhh.....nighttime tree id pics - this could be fun! Good luck with the take-down! Cheers!
I think all of my reasons have been mentioned: like chainsaws and cutting wood, like being self-sufficient as much as possible, like to be warm,...
Based on your description - go take that picture! That said - beech has a light grey solid bark. Black birch and cherry have similar dark bark...
Lots of good info above. I burned a 1/2 cord of 2 year dry white pine so far this fall, with another 1/2 cord in the barn to finish the burn...
Four year oak is ideal - I have about 2.5 cord that was stacked in 2010 that is in the barn for this winter's cold weather- damm it burns well!...
A storm is heading in tomorrow - up to 12" of snow possible. Had about 1/2 cord still in the woods and pile of big pine rounds to split. Hit the...
To the OP - if you are considering the used route (best choice for me personally), you need to assess your mechanical skills - if you are looking...
Give some thought to whether you see yourself cutting well into the future as well - this will help determine whether it's worth spending the...
Thanks MM - I've somehow evolved to a mostly Husq line of keeper saws - if you think more oil is good I'll do it. 40:1 or 32:1 with the Belray-...
Leave the bark on the musclewood - I've made dozens of musclewood staffs and after you use them for a long while, the sweat and oils from your...
