Firewood thread!!! Let's see what you got!!!!

Sycamore? Fair heat, a bear to split. If it's eucalyptus, I have no idea.

Yeh it's Sycamore or Plains Tree. Fair heat ain't worth the trouble. Noodled a few into quarters and still tough to split. There's plenty of oak, madrone, doug fir around here.

This worth messing with? 22 rounds average about 16 inches. I have lots of options. Don’t “need” it.

No, it is sycamore!!!

Carpenter ants. I don’t like em. Cost me several pretty rounds in my last load. Whole dang colony hidden in one. Startled the dickens out of me when I cracked it open

I don’t waste poplar here. I use it for days when I am able to feed it every 3-4 hours. I don’t burn pine, too many other options here. 75% of hardwood trees on my property are oaks. Most is Chestnut Oak with White and Red mixed in.

Yellow pine and White pine here too. I want to mill some. My entire shop is framed rough sawn yellow pine.

My carpel tunnel is acting up just looking at those sweet old saws

Beech?
If so, we have a lot around our place, weighs a ton green but great overnight wood. We've joked that if Anheuser Busch ever needs more for their aging barrels we're set for life!

 

[JimG.]

Yellow birch.
I'm thinking of putting some on the mill to see how it looks inside.

Good morning folks. Nice and sunny for the time being with temps approaching 50f today.

To bad there has been a temp yo-yo effect lately.

oops, wanted to say nice hauls in this thread. . .

Instead of carrying the wood to the big pile we decided to move the bucking table, splitter trailer and a few totes to the wood pile. Pops ran the lawnmower and loaded while I cut and put the cut up chunks in their places.


Two full totes of smalls and a full trailer of splitters to get after tomorrow.


This doesn’t look like nearly as many chips as it turnt out to be. They didn’t all fit in that bucket.


The 044 got warmed up, cut a few chunks and didn’t start again. Gonna have to investigate that tonight. The 066 did the rest of the cutting and only drank a single tank of fuel. Cutting cottonwood doesn’t work it all that hard lol.

Maybe you can read it more clearly now that it isn’t upside down. That thing must cut crazy slow being all upside down and such
