My BIL is building a house so needless to say when he asked if I wanted some of the wood from the lot clearing I jumped on it. Got out today to attack some of it. Here is the pile before hand The hatchet technique to carry is clutch Really wish I had the keys to the backhoe Was getting into the pile and was curious what kind of wood everyone thought this could be Needless to say I did not get the whole pile cut but a healthy amount for 3 hours
Do you have any leaf pics? The wood with the dark center has me wondering what it is. The other wood appears to be red oak. Regardless, it looks like a great score. Nice straight logs, and you'll get a lot of nice stacks out of that.
I was thinking that. But I've never seen them with such a wide light outer area. Then again, I don't cut much black walnut.
There's probably more in that pile. As walnut trees go, where's there's one, there's usually more. Fwiw, it's ok firewood. Not great. Good shoulder season stuff. Makes a lot of ash imo.
Yes, it makes a lot of ash, and is around 16 mbtu's a cord. So not so great, btu wise, but it's btu's. The way winters have been around most of the states, shoulder season is longer and longer.
Any free BTU'S is always good in my book. Just separate out the walnut when your stacking it and then use it for shoulder season. I try to keep all my wood stacked that way.
X2, nice score. The walnut would be great to turn with after a few years in the round dried up and checked.
Yep walnut, I think it is higher than 16mbtu's though. More in the range of 19-20mbtu's. It does produce a lot of light fluffy ash, but dries out quick if stacked in a good spot.
