Should split with a little gun powder.

Should split with a little gun powder.

Only way I'd make it into splits is by chainsaw. It'd never make in onto my property anyway but gunpower or tannerite sounds fun.

Tested some saws in Japanese elm once. Cut that slippery stuff a few times. I'll pass. Trash wood like willow and sweet gum.
Heard sweet gum makes good boards. Is that true?

No idea. If it has gum or elm in the title, I'm out!

@farmer steve do you still have the pics of the black gum you split?

you guys must not have a hydraulic splitter. I'll take all the elm and shag bark hickory I can. Burn time is great in the o.w.b. Have never had a issue splitting any of it. Only issue I ever had with elm was a monster 4ft yard tree. Couldn't lift 16" rounds with my little yanmar tractor. Had to drive my 65hp case 6-7mi to pick it up. Took 20min or so. Only issue I've ever had with the stuff.

Your just used to *s-word wood. We got oaks and stuffs here all over the place. Plus...I don't like to clean out ash every other day. Red oak or better ftw!
I'd burn dog *s-word if it was delivered and burned good. Ymmv

They tell me hickory can be like that. But the fiskars makes quick work of it.

Mulberry. You know related to Osage. Most people pass on it but I'll take all I can get.

Mulberry is excellent farwood!
Split a few loads this afternoon.

 

[RI Chevy]

Not sure if I've ever come across any Mulberry my way. From the pics it looks a little like cedar to me...

 

[Wolverine]

My stack is shaping up quiet nicely. Filled in everything I’ve brought in to burn this year. In 2 years and beyond I’m going to be sittin’ pretty!


At the point beyond the middle covered part, it’s this far above my head. Rest is a little over 6’.

Nice work Jason! [emoji106][emoji482][emoji319]

White or red is good hardwood/fruit wood. Not easy to split the knots...noodle them. Good farwood.
