Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

I was thinking Red Maple, but so hard to tell from pics, even tough sometimes from actual trees!

Goodluck on the deer hunt! Post pics of any success

Heard a tree fall during the nor Easter last week . Went to look today between hunting stints . Found it not sure what it is I'm thinking Hickory but not sureView attachment 939487View attachment 939488View attachment 939489

Looking like maple. Or atleast the maple I see in the thumb area in michigan

It's maple. Looks most like red maple, as has already been said.

Where you at.
I planted a bunch of Norway Spruce here, no tamarack yet though.

Two counties down and three over in NW Iowa. I planted two rows of the white spruce and one row of the tamaracks. I have intentions on cutting the middle row of spruce trees out when they get to the right size. Still want a couple rows of hybrid willows until the spruce/tamaracks provide enough of a windbreak, if ever. It hasn't been easy getting trees to grow the last two years.

Nice, LOL.
Looked a wee bit chilly over there the other morning, I saw 23 in some areas, we mad it down to 26 near me. I planted 2 rows and plan on cutting some out as well. Ours are under the shade of all the trees there so they are growing very slow, but they've made it through a winter and a real dry spell so I think they'll start to flourish soon. Also now that I'm building the barn I will thin out the trees a lot more in that area to let the sunlight in as we won't be able to see the rd where the barn is anyway, which is why I left the other trees there. I have 8-10 good sized trees to take out there .

Barn progress.
Did some grading inside today, removed quite a bit of dirt, also grabbed another bunk of 1/2 OSB. I figure I'd take the 10% off by buying 58+ sheets and if they go up in price I can sell them for more than I paid, if they go down I can return them and get my money back. Win win I figure.
Paid for the trusses and the rest of the lumber to build the eves, bracing, and for the facia . They will be here Tuesday, then I have to bust it out so I can get shingles on it right away.

Maple also. Branch structure shows it.
But I'm waiting for @Logger nate to give us his opinion .

Going to finally finish cutting up that tree I cut down a couple months ago (or was it just a month ago?). Was waiting for the tick season to end.
Have a few more trees to cut down, nothing too big. I'll post pics when I'm done so you guys can critique my wedges.

Watch out for Canadians and Montanans.

I will be, I see @dancan "ed" my post about them .

In other threads, some people have shared an opinion that they think the larger diameter ECHO shaft may be sturdier, and less prone to damage.

I remember seeing that too.
Most everyone I've seen comment on them or that I've personally talked to likes them.
Not long before I bought mine I missed an echo on Craigslist that needed some work for $60 .

I'm more curious as to what that funny black barked tree is laying next to the maple?
