Hedge is definately a cold weather wood. I have been able to burn up a lot of lesser quality wood this year. Hedge Fire Wood is king.

Most winters I have very little hedge and a lot of junk. This year all I have us hedge.

Been using up some hack berry and silver maple that I hauled home from a friend of mine out of his tree cleanup and removal. Saving the good stuff for cold weather.

I like burning it pretty well.

The hackberry is some that should have been used up last year. Around here it doesn't keep from one year to the next very well unless it is covered real well.

Hedge

Well, at least if you don't burn it this year, or next, or the year after that, the hedge will still be good whenever you need it!

Hold the big ones for me. I'm always looking for some good hedge sawlogs for my mill! I'll take it as short as 4' long.

Unfortunately, a lot of the Hedge trees around here look like this in the center... Not all, but a lot.

Check out the rooster tail of chips this thing is throwing on the up cuts... Kinda dark, so you have to look close. That's Thorny Locust wood...

I have cut quit a bit that looks like this.


Dave, what doe you make out of the saw logs?

 

[Dave Boyt]

Most hedge looks like that, which makes the good stuff that much more desirable. Some woodworkers like it for its color and density. Some goes for musical instrument parts, like guitar fingerboards. I know one person who sells hedge for archery bows, though I haven't tapped into that market yet. One wood turner has asked me to keep my eyes open for hedge roots. He does incredible work. I'm always open to new ideas & markets. Part of that is having a diversity of materials. Hope to meet you at the GTG!

Wood turner? Sounds like John T... How big of a root can he turn?

I've wanted to make some planks out of hedge and make some yard furniture. time is not cheap.
