    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    oh and I guess I should post a pic with some wood in it. Not my wood just a job but anyway... A couple months ago got hired to cut up this big dead pine. I told them I wouldn't recommend burning it inside, but they wanted it anyways, so whateves. It was hot as balls till the shade came over...

    Yo Guys! Been a couple years since I've been on here. Still been cutting and burning lots of wood. Last couple seasons I've been fortunate enough to score some excellent, volumus, easy sources of red and white oak, hardly feels like scrounging lol. Me and the wifey just bought a property...

    Well, there's 7 cases reported in NC now, all in the general area I live. Some of my work this week got canceled (I'm a musician, and venues are closing down) and I suspect more to come. Schools might close any day now. So all that to say, a good day to go out cutting! I figure safest place...

    Scrounged some more of that mystery meat. After some interweb comparisons, I’m guessing pignut hickory. Whatever it is, it’s gonna get get burned [emoji2375][emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    finally got back down to the big oak scrounging spot: two red oak maybe 4ft DBH growing right next to each other, that both fell last spring. A beautiful day to be out! Did some videos but haven't uploaded yet. Some stuff had falling down in the area I cleared since I was last here so had...

    Yeah I kind of though it was gum, but it definitely split easier than any gum I’ve ever tried, which had always been horrendous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can anyone ID this wood? Found on the side of the road the other night. There’s few a more I might go back for. Quite heavy, splitting difficultly is medium. Ash? Hickory? Bark seems different than the ash I was working with last year, though the fresh splits have a similar smell/feel...

    Hey man we actually rode the snake last spring. It was a blast! pretty recently resurfaced m, smooth as butter. Came up from Burnsville, then went back down and stayed with a friend in Roan Mtn who has a little biker campground thing going, mostly adv riders coming through. Where do you live...

    Well the snow was pretty, Lynx had a blast, it didn't mess with the roads, and I even scrounged a couple rounds from the side of the road on the way home last night. So a good deal all round :cheers:

    Dude I here ya. I still have my SV650, not as fast as the 750 but plenty fast to get into trouble real quick. I still ride occasionally, but as long as I stay away from the mtns I'm not as tempted to cut loose. those twisties are irresistable though. I did go up and ride for a couple days in...

    Fiskars...

    Sorry to hear they’re not responding. I had the plastic at the top of the handle on my isocore maul crack, took picture, did the Warrenty claim process on their website, and got a new one within a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fiskars...

    Curious how sharp y’all keep your fiskars splitting axes? It comes with a very sharp edge, which I have let get somewhat dull, with the thinking that a régular maul doesn’t need to be sharp to be effective, but curious if the splitting axe is different. I’ll probably sharpen it up again to see...

    especially in time lapse! Lol time lapse makes everything look fast and easy. Should have done a couple in real time..But yeah, no complaints about this beastly dolly. Made short work of that tree. That was 28” EXL full comp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I tried making some bark “shingles” just for fun for some of the wood I’m processing at my sons school. Went by during rain on Thursday. It’s....sort of....working [emoji23] if the pieces were longer, more regular, and I had more of them maybe it would work better. In other words if it was...

    Recommendations for a small, lightweight saw

    I’ve had the Jon cutter g2500 for a few months now and it’s been great for me. Very lightweight, use it for cutting up branches for kindling and small limbing. I got it for $90. Read somewhere that it might be nice with a .043 setup so I tried that, and it will cut through 5” stuff easily...

    I like this mans Ideas mostly.

    That’s what I’ve always heard and part of why I’ve never bothered to cross stack, I just do single stacks with some space in between. Plus making the pillars is really time consuming especially if all your splits aren’t uniform. I’m thinking about just driving in t posts to hold up the sides...
