Glad the furnace is back running. Take care, Carl. Get well. Sucks being sick.

Your reflection and camera angle in the window makes it almost look like your holding onto the handles of that saw.

Morning folks. The chickens and the fire are both fed. Chilly out there today. Time for coffee.

Either the 24 hr flu or maybe something off the buffet Sunday night at the local casino.
I had some Mexican style cut corn that is corn, red & green peppers and onions. Any of which may have been tainted with some bacteria not compatable with my guts.
I'll be more careful next time.

I thought it was elm but don't ever remember splitting any that dark. Maybe I just split the white elm before. I don't remember it being that dark when I cut it either.

Looks like limb wood from a Siberian Elm. Dark color like Red, but when dry will be lighter. Splits better than American. Especially once it shrinks from it's bark.

Siberian Elm has a dark heartwood. Large growth rings usually.

Red elm it is then. The bark was coming off just by sticking it with a pickaroon to move it. And yes, the pieces I split Sunday were already significantly lighter than what I was splitting on Monday. IMO, it split almost as easy as straight grained red oak; and, not even close to American Elm.

Um..
Red is not the same as Siberian.
I'm thinking Siberian..
Red Elm would be rare as hen's teeth in your area.
Siberian's were planted all over the country with the advent of dutch elm disease from turn of the century on. Ugly trees, but impervious to DED.
American Elm is the stuff you all split at my place.. Super stringy.

I've got about 1/2 cord of it. Splits like a dream and noticeably lighter.

Anyone looking for a 1 ton dually with a flatbed? My uncle wants to get rid of his 87 gmc

Been working on the Pro Mac 555 the last 3-4 days. Fortunately I've got a few 10-10 parts saws. Replaced the broke off manual oiler button, replaced the fuel line and sealed the gas tank (gotta love that SealAll), got the manual oiler working too.
Filled it with gas last night and started it up only to find I didn't have the chain in the rim drive. Got that fixed tonight. Started on the first pull, stone cold. Got the carb adjusted up. This thing runs real good. Think I'll put it in the work saw lineup.

I finally scored later this afternoon, Justin found a couple big dead
Walnut trees, we cut probably most of a trailer load.
The little saws were working really hard. All we have to do is get it....
1. To dry ground (its on a pond dam) 2. In my truck and last
Me get it unloaded into my yard/mudbog

Well my wife missed the door on the wood stove today at full throwing speed.... Got between the wood and the door ring.. Popped the nail and crushed the Lil bone in the end if her left ring finger..

This burning wood is hazardous!
