Yeah it certainly has, I'm on my 2nd batch of making it at the moment so I'm getting the most out of the bones I can tell ya. And it tastes beautiful, I just add a few veggies and some meat - YUM!
well, bon appetite to you! anybody can cook some meat for a soup... hour by hour, or day by day... but what I particulary like is u r cooking it on ur wood stove. very log cabinish, imo!
it's how D-ick Proenneke did it up at Twin Lakes, AK... moose and mtn sheep stew.
Great big sky day
Same here but without the white poop. And it's 60*. I'm sweating splitting up some wood.

I took it out, so people would quit burning it, and bring me the logs for my BSM! lolWhere's the black locust

Funny, guys actually want to turn trees into boards, can you believe it
.I was thinking that's how we met when I was posting that
.
That's funny.
From what I know it's right between red and white oak and I think honey locust is very close to white oak. What's nice about it is how easy it is to work, splits easy(if you can hit the same spot twice, go fiscars, cuts easy(if green even better), very few branches to deal with if it's in an established stand, it's light for the btu content because of the low water content which also means it seasons quick
. What sucks about it is dealing with the ones that have thorns, and the splinters will drive you nuts, but in comparison to critters that will kill you I'll deal with it .
Betcha my beers colder
You realize we have frigerators here in the states

I love all Locust, especially Black Locust. I set a piece aside in my garage to dry a bit. I cut some scales for a WWII vintage scout knife. It was a pre licensed knife, so the escutcheon just says Scout Knife, not BSA. It's a nice Camillus knife. the original escutcheon set on top of the scales. I plan on inlaying it. I also wanted to checker them, but a gun stock maker friend said he wouldn't try to checker Locust as a first attempt, wood is too hard. But the wood is free and my time is too so I may give it a try.That's funny.

I found two of these in my wood pile. It's a juvenile Southern Black Widow. I checked and they do live in your neck of the woods. They might not suck all of the dead juice out of your body and dry out your skin and make a house out of it like some of those down under critters will, but they are still there.

That temp should mean you pommy bastards won't need to come over here anymore to live!
Not by much. The beer fridge is set at 33* F. And I'm drinking Canadian beer!

I gotta be careful not to over fire with the oaks.
Just a few piles snow/ice left here other then north edge of the woods. Was blessed with an inch of rain today to keep mud season going strong.

Haven't touched a saw lately. Been working on that Cadillac that went swimming. Into it for $400 and still not sure I can save it. Most likely will but might take another $400 or so to get there.
Black Birch is also missing from that BTU chart, lots of it around here and the BTU value is generally hirer than the other Birch wood.
Also, those weights must be dry wood, cause wet Red Oak is about as heavy as it gets!
