Anybody ever burn it? There's some old trees where I've been working so I cut some and brought it home. Very heavy and dense...we'll see what it burns like next year.
I've burned a bit. We felled a bunch on a lot clearing job once, about 12-14" at the base and topping out at 60' tall. Once it was dry it made a good fire.
Nasty stuff to work with, hard to feed through a chipper because it's so dense and interwoven. Add in the thorns poking you everywhere and cutting you to shreds and lets just say burning was too good for it. lol
As mentioned it makes good tool handles, really tough and relatively light weight.

Yes sir those thorns love to break off in you! I had to carve myself up pretty good to get them out last time, mostly because I was careless cutting and dragging that stuff in NSJ. My friend who owns the property has performed the swell up-go see the doctor routine a few times. I was probably dealing with smaller stuff than you've got, but it burned very well.
