Looks good.
I think she was taught to put the bark up at some point.
The fact that she did it and I wouldn't have to is a great selling point to me, I'd just add a bit to the top and make a few more crates.
You've got a great woman there.
I've not seen black oak, at least I didn't know it if I did.
..
Exactly.
Filled about 100 of them last year.......and I don’t burn wood.
Yeah. Black locust 20 years old is fine.I've not seen black oak, at least I didn't know it if I did.
I was thinking of you last month when I was out cutting, there was some cherry and black cherry right next to each other, only time I've noticed black cherry.
I think I know of another one, I have to check it out.
Black locust is one of my favorites, I don't sell it, I hoard it
Downside is the bark, and it stinks
I use the bark to start fires with in the shoulder season and will even just load the stove up with it on a mild day.
They were big old trees. That's Steve's truck on the left and mine just stick out of the other side of the pic. I think Steve got that dead ash also. A lot of good wood came out of this spot.
I like when the bark is still on but barely so when I cut the rounds the bark gets cut too, when it's like that I save it for kindling/shoulder season fires, lots of ash, but if the saw already cut it then why not
..
Nice loads guys.

That's how he rollsShe stacked two to your one?

The little trailer on the truck will hold exactly 1/2 cord. My JD 265 with 17hp Kawasaki will pull it around the house and in the yard no problem. Just don't try to go down hill in the yard, you'll meet the neighbor at the bottom.
they were all 16" or less. i gave everyone a measuring stick before we started cutting.Nice loads guys.
Some of those don't look 16" Steve, guessing you let James take those lol.
If we went cutting locust together nothing I cut would be 16"
Yeah. Lol or standing ones that have been dead just long enough to break the small branches when they hit and the bark comes off. But not long enough for a lot of WidowMakers!!I like when the bark is still on but barely so when I cut the rounds the bark gets cut too, when it's like that I save it for kindling/shoulder season fires, lots of ash, but if the saw already cut it then why not
Whatever chain I got on the saw is what's cutting it, just gotta sharpen the full a bit more. I like seeing the sparks fly off that stuff it lets you now it's ready to burn
Let me know next time.
If you dont scrounge you could stick around and talk about other things.
