Before I got to this site, I burned nothing but oak and hickory. Since I need wood ready for this winter, I have been after ash, but I knew of a nice cherry that has been down in my woods since hurricane Ike came across the midwest, up from Texas. I think that was 3 years ago. Well, it left 30 feet standing of straight up wood and the rest of the tree is down, but not totally on the ground. I took down the 30 foot piece this eve and cut a quick 6 slabs. I wanted to split some with a maul to see how easy it went but did not get the chance. I measured the slabs and the first 3 were 20" and the next 3 a little over 18"
That's not a bad cherry. How easy is this going to split and how ready will it be ?
