I have had mixed results with hand splitting silver maple. Split one last Saturday that was nice and easy. Had one earlier this year that kicked...
Not considered a premium wood, but definitely worth getting. Good shoulder season wood.
I think it would be a good job, and almost went into that field when I was younger. I couldn't stand the thought of working through deer season...
Great story! I'll bet he's got a million of 'em. Game wardens can run into anything on any given day.
Good luck, hope it works out.
Let's hear it! Game warden stories are always entertaining.

I can't wait to get out and cut some more wood this weekend. When I find some dormant ants, I am going to put them in a medicine bottle and bring...
So I mixed up a batch of this boric acid with some sugar and water. After drinking a tall glassful, I haven't seen any ants. I think it must be...

Cut and split for 4 hours again today. Some of the ash had ants inside the heartwood. Are they truly dead? Or are they just playin' possum till...
Ash is my favorite also. Can't beat it, IMHO.
It's really gone downhill over here, too. Too many doe permits, too many coyotes, EHD, and the list goes on. I've never seen a deer in the woods...

Sounds like fun. Mine definitely won't get filled in a day. The kids help me sometimes with loading, hauling, and stacking. But the cutting and...
Are you obsessed with filling the shed? I sure am. I feel like filling the shed is unfinished business. Until that thing is full, there's no...
Made it out for 4 hours of cutting today. Stopped by the shed to take some pics. There is enough room for 2 rows on each side, with a nice aisle...
Great! Thanks for the replies. Good information, as always.
Thank you mr. Finn. I would like to learn as much about trees as I can. I think it would be very cool to walk through the woods and be able to...
