    Little wood whole lot of work. 80 year old fellow in Church belonged to this project and asked if I could help. I said sure. Two days later in my yard and the rest is history. Enjoy the pics because it did happen. :axe:

    Pear burns well. I like it.

    Small live branches are the most nutrient dense part of the tree.

    Not usually much wood in those. Brittle trees that break easily. Weird splitting too. More or less chips rather than splits.

    Good on you for helping him out.:salute:

    Yeah, you don't get much firewood out of one of those.

    Guy down the road had two cut down in his font yard when branches started snapping off. Planted two more to replace them.
