Sugar Maple Done

[thewoodlands]

I went up in for a couple hours and bucked up this sugar maple, still have another load or two that needs hauling out. The last picture is what I caught one of the chains on coming down the hill which caused it to come off.

Sweet Zap! Looks like that machine is doing very well in pretty good snow - do you plow your way in at all? Cheers!

NH_Wood, I decided against the plow for the rhino and with the chains on the back tires that is all I need. On Saturday or Sunday I will be dragging the trails with a pine I cut in the fall to knock down the snow.

Zap, I took the day off. We could not cut until this afternoon and the wife mentioned she was really tired but also needed to get some Christmas baking done. So I had to decide whether to cut wood or let her bake some goodies. What would you have done?

Sav, I would take the day off then eat some of the Christmas baking. The wife has been baking since I woke up, just downed some nice cookies with MILK! :coolsmile:

Zap, I'm not sure what looks better. The cut up wood or the beautiful snow cover.

+1 here. I marvel at every photo. I don't know where Zap lives but probably a good thing or I would be there helping him just to be out in that country. Of course unless the wife was baking Christmas cookies.... you made the right choice Dennis. Merry Christmas everyone! Steve

Wood Spliter, it was a great day in the woods with the temps at 23 degrees and not any wind. Friday I will be hauling what I have bucked up out of the woods and back to the house plus make a delivery of cookies my wife baked to the neighbors.


These are the cookies I will deliver.

I love sugar maple. Seasons quickly, burns well and leaves a nice coal. Great score there.

richg, last night I put six good size splits of sugar maple and two smaller splits of cherry and woke up seven hours later (this morning) with a nice bed of coals with the stove top temp at 200.

The only other wood we have with more btu's is ironwood but it's not for this year.
