Hi everybody,
Soon the hot weather will be here and the dust and mosquitos will be sticking to us.
I have a question>
I need to thin out some large buckeye trees. they are crowding some nice chestnut oaks and I want to give the space to the oaks.
Does anyone have experience with this wood?
The trees I have cut down so far were smaller, but the wood seemed to be pretty brittle when green anyway.
I dont want to waste time and fuel milling these trees if the wood is junk. I wasted last Sat. on a 35 inch burr oak which fell over in the ice storms this winter...milled off a couple slabs and it was rotten. I counted 175 rings on the tree. There goes my plans for table tops down the drain! Now the squirrels have a nice flat spot in the woods to cut nuts.
