We had a tree service come and take down a few trees and trim some others....one medium-sized ash and one giant cottonwood.
I spent most of the day yesterday splitting......after not splitting for 6 months.....today I'm feeling it. Walking like Fred Sanford......
Yes, I know cottonwood is disliked for the most part. I just can't let it sit and rot. After a day of learning how best to split it, I can understand why many will avoid it. It's not fun. It's very stringy. No satisfying "crack" like most hardwoods.
Even though it burns fast, it still burns. And burn it I shall.
Once I can walk normally again and squat, I'll get back out there and stack it.....lol.....
