only one customer,the ASH is very sought after indeed :biggrin:

some people will say it's possible to split wood faster with an axe than a log splitter,i agree with this statment,and it's cheaper
to run,and no problem with two involved in the work.

here locally is also a thriving buisness for local forest companies and now is harvest time,one as such here is coilte who own
80% of FIR/pine forest here in ireland,typical example of some harvest sites.
another thriving boom here is windfarms,it's very popular with some elictrical companies here now such as electric ireland
there is a lot of windmills locally here.
another road back behind the hill at other side of mountain

yeah ireland is lovely this time of year it's so green,there is a lot of wood here now in this forest,they seem to be doing a lot of harvesting around here now.for the last 3 years almost every forest i see is been harvested,the coilte forest operation here in ireland is very economical and regenerative,almost as soon as they cut 1000acers another 1000 has regrown in other locations.
it's sitka spruce grown here mostly and norway spruce,i love this wood and cut and sell a lot of it,i love the smell,it's scented like a perfume and it burns well when seasoned!! easy on chainsaws and very plentyfull in supply.
unfortunatly demand for FIR/spruce is NOT so high here,but sells never the less,i have two large douglas FIR to take down soon also,should keep me in supply for a while
i don't know if it's a popular wood in the states or not??

In most areas of the USA people perfer to burn hard woods like Oak, Hickory, Maple, Ash, Cherry, Locust, and Walnut. But in certain regions people cannot be so choosy and use what ever will burn. I never liked Cottonwood and Willow. The Pine types make a lot of tar in the chimney.

They do not build with wood in Ireland like they do here in the States. Douglas Fir is one of the best, if not THE bestwood, to build with. Since everything in Ireland is steel or mortar, Fir has little value for building. Also, there seem to be a lot less DIY builds of decks, patios, awmings, fences, etc etc. And what builds I have seen, I could not identify the wood used.
Most of the folks that burn wood I know in Ireland prefer Ash or other hard woods. Many simply buy coal.

yes wyk,i think a lot of irelands FIR is exported,some of it is used i think in roofing for houses etc too....
BAD wet day here,doubt the chainsaw will see any wood today

wow been a while since i was on here,anyway dancan, yes donegal is a lovely place,some immence scenery to be seen and
fantastic countyside to experience.
anyway,i havn't been to the woods in over a month,but will be getting back in to it now again,we have a bird here under the conservation act called the hen harrier so we had to leave things be for a while,but now we have marked out some more trees that we can cut,was a lot of work,as i say nature comes first and i will NOT cut down any tree with birds nests etc. so for now it's going to be all hand picked trees from here on under close inspection only.
from october on we can pretty much cut what we like as all the birds will have hatched in the nests and will be gone away until next year.
so will update soon when i get back in to it.

The native squirrel is the Red squirrel
The North American Gray Squirrel was introduced there over 100 years ago.
In some parts the red squirrel is common
In other areas there is only the Gray Squirrel
Needless to say, broad leaf forests are the preferred habitat.

I know my question sounded very ignorant but having never been there I was curious. Florida is LOADED with squirrels and it seems like there is a nest in half the trees here.
