I'm thinking it's a Sugar Maple but could be wrong, I should've grabbed this a year ago but there's still some good wood. The last three pictures are from the tree the branch came off of.
If the wind keeps on roaring, we'll have more Pine. I pulled out of the woods just before the winds really picked up, I think we have gust close to 50 mph. We have 204 without power just west of us.
It will get split tomorrow and then get stacked on Monday. After the winds today , I'll need to check for more downed wood tomorrow, maybe work off some of the cookies I've been pounding down.
I just took a look at Weather Undergrounds forecast for this area, they have us getting 8-12 inches of snow on December 29, so I better get going on the stacking.
I'm not sure what this winter will be like up here, I think the way w I think we'll get it Tuesday morning according to reports I've read, I'll get the plow out of the woods tomorrow along with getting the Beech stacked.
That looks like a hard maple to me too zap but I could be wrong.. There's over 30 maple varieties in Michigan alone...
I'm going to do just like I did when we got that 7" of snow last month. I'll leave the plow off! Of course, it doesn't take long to put on should it be needed but sounds like we will not be needing it. Tis okay with me.
