True... Keep in mind I live in the megalopolis where we can barely squeeze a sheet of paper in-between houses, so 23 acres feels a little more spacious where I'm from
This is the easiest splitting wood I’ve ever had, hands down. I saved a couple of the “larger” logs for milling. Hopefully I can come across some decent sized stuff next time. Of course, the obligatory thing to do when processing a new species is to perform the sniff test, and I like the smell of black walnut In a weird way it reminds me of fresh cut apple heartwood for some reason.
I was amazed at how easy the stuff splits myself. I was halving 20" rounds with ease. I like the smell myself. Smells like iodine IMO
Wow, you completely lost me comparing it to apple. I’d say apple is sweet and walnut would be savory. I do love the smell of both though.
I have always equated walnut to smelling like watermelon rind. I've never done a side by side comparison, but for some reason that's what my mind goes to....
I’m burning some of this black walnut right now, and I can see why it’s one of your favorites It does throw some nice flames and burn well. No heaps of charcoal left behind either, which is a huge bonus in my book.
