luckily I have a splitter im just worried about the way the big one is sitting on the pile. Maybe I can hook it up to the truck and roll it off the top and get another chain for when I accidently run this one into the dirtHey, that is one sweet haul! As for getting them processed, don't think you have to have a saw with a bar that will go all the way through the log because you don't. As for splitting, if you don't have hydraulics, a sledge and 2 or 3 steel wedges can work wonders. Just slower than hydraulics.
I knew from the title it was going to be a big pile but that dandy load of wood!![]()
Is it Slippery (Red) Elm? If so, you'll like the way it burns. It's between Cherry and Ash....a bit better than American Elm. Very pretty heart wood when dried, too. Most of the Red I get here is dead standing wood with the bark gone but I still stack the trunk for a year. Two years on that fresh stuff, I would think.
Cool. Tree guys are usually right.I think its red elm at least that's what the guy told me....ill split some here in a couple of days and post a pic.
Those look to me like they're under 30"....Can your 18" saw get half way through those big logs?
Some is punky, but I'll be using it all for firepit wood...
Hey the elm, sugar maple, white oak, red oak black locust, honey locust, ash, hickory, applewood, ironwood, hedge, cherry, pin oak, walnut, silver and red maple........they're ALL primo woods in my book (just depends on time of year/time of day)Bear in mind, Scotty is pretty liberal with the "primo" label.But you'll like it, guaranteed.

That's exactly what I'm saying about your primo list....it's all-inclusive.Hey the elm, sugar maple, white oak, red oak black locust, honey locust, ash, hickory, applewood, ironwood, hedge, cherry, pin oak, walnut, silver and red maple........they're ALL primo woods in my book (just depends on time of year/time of day
Yep. You don't want to be conservative with the cord wood.Hey the elm, sugar maple, white oak, red oak black locust, honey locust, ash, hickory, applewood, ironwood, hedge, cherry, pin oak, walnut, silver and red maple........they're ALL primo woods in my book (just depends on time of year/time of day)BTW, that's one of the ONLY things I'm liberal with!
