12 above this morning was better than -26 below yesterday. Going to have to break out the shorts and flipflops for this weekend.

Hey guys. I'm looking to make a couple new chopping blocks with the tires mounted on them.

Anyone in MN metro or north along I-35 have any larger rounds, say 20-26" of a tough to split species that I might be able to trade you for a box of adult beverages?

I have some that would work for you, but I'm south of the cities.

How far south?

 

[Philbert]

We have EAB quarantines in the metro area for firewood transport. You should check into those before moving stuff around.

Straight south on 35 exit 59, dont know if that's to far for you.

Those damn cheese heads north of us are vortexing that cold air south.

Good point. Maybe I'll update my request to those out of metro area. Don't want to be bringing any nasties up north any quicker than they can fly.

Just curious, if I cut a block square with a chainsaw and there's no bark left, does it become "dimensional lumber"?

 

[Philbert]

I don't know all the rules. Looks like the wood has to be bark free and kiln dried. And you need to have a permit. Here are some places to start:

That's a little hike out of my normal range. Appreciate the offer though.

I'll check these out when I'm on a desktop. I wondered about the kiln drying bit.

Not sure if this has been posted here but there is a GTG coming up soon in Minnesota, somewhere up North.

I just saw this post. I got some oak chunks if your interested. Only about 40 min north of St Paul and about 2 min off 35.

Cool. Are you out of the metro FW quarantine? (Assuming you are far enough north to be clear.)
