Sum Beech

Is better than no Beech.
First Beech I’ve cut in a long time. Felled 12 today. Lots of Red Maple with a small Beech and a nice Cherry. Gotta go back to collect the wood.

 

That's great, nice handling size.

 

Have several I need to cut this summer from my shooting lanes at the deer camp. All about that size as well. Good score

 

Nice job

 

I've always heard about that "sum beech" ...never knew where it was though nice find!

 

That's sum nice firewood. Those look nice and healthy too. Most of the beech I see around here are withering from beech leaf disease.

 

Not much beech around me but plenty of summa of beeches.

Nice score.

 

Very nice!!! I haven't seen a Beech that healthy in a few years up here

 

Yep, healthy little beech. Won’t be seeing any of those around here. Nice stuff tho.

 

Free logs for whoever cleans up the brush. Long straight Red Maple and Poplar is worth millions.

 

Got the sum beech

 

The Cherry

 

That's a nice load of farwood.

 

Bundle wood. Id be on those like flies on you know what.

 

I’ve been splitting a bunch of knotty and wavy limb wood recently, so I’m looking forward to mowing through some straight Cherry and Red Maple. l’ll go back for 1-2 more loads.

 

Are you a "snob" when it comes to choosing wood for inventory? I try to avoid gnarly stuff. Quality of split my main criteria regardless of species.

 

I rarely get any straight cherry...even if it looks perfect, the grain usually has a twist, and will split that way.

 

Yeah I hate that. Go to split it and surprise. Same with red maple.
