Anyone know what kind of wood this is and if it's good firewood? Tree fell during a storm chopping it up
I see Good old fashioned Hickory..... Any chance you could rustle up some dried up leaves from the cut site?
so far I've gotten three different types of wood lol...someone said ash, someone said oak and now i hear hickory lol
Oak, color is wrong for hick. Those leaves on the ground in thirst pick are oak, the lichen screams oak and the bark says oak to me...
i need to start thinking of possibly wearing a mask when I'm outside all day doing this kind of stuff....everytime i come from outside chopping trees or doing leaf/yard work, my sinuses are terrible. My nose wont stop dripping and i feel congested everytime I'm outside all day in the elements and dirt and leaves and stuff.
I say red oak...jmho, and Nicholas62388 your obsession will worsen over time, become more expensive and ultimately find you warm and cozy...enjoy the ride
it already is...the first chance i get for the Homelite log splitter I'm buying it...i always am looking online and around my towns for free logs and stuff for firewood.
I have a 5ton homelite. Don't count on it for everything.... if I had to do it again I'd go straight for a gas unit and skip the electric.
looks like the Homolectric splitters are about 300 new. I just bought my used 22 ton Huskee for 500 how much wood you planning on using each year? Might want to skip right to the gasser like Bobdog suggests
actually. i think ive seen a couple of them, and they are members here in fact i think I have a pic of one of them with a chainsaw
That bark and wood looks like maple round here. But I do see the oak leaves on the ground. Without handling it id is tough...at least for me.
I was going to say maple too, soft maple, maybe red maple. The heartwood sure doesn't look like red oak at all to me, but some of that bark sure looks red oaky to me. The leaves around are red oak.
Wow everyone else on here has raved about the home lite splitter. Even on Home Depot the reviews are all positive as hell for it
