Good day for splitting.

I finally felled a bunch of Ash today, five trees. The first was the biggest and the rest will be nice to work with, I did finish bucking up the first one.

What part of Ireland are you from? One of these years I want to go there and see it. All of my family immigrated from Ireland. It sure looks beautiful

Fixed it for you

I'm from county Roscommon. About 30 miles from the border and 19 miles from the Atlantic. 200 miles from Dublin.

Well I didn't get much done but I did get out. It's been cold wet and windy all week it seems. I got this little bit cut split and stacked.

Today I did some clean up and filled my kindling box for next year with scraps from splitting.Four buckets of bark raked up.

I had four Ash down from yesterday, I bucked up three today and rolled them down the hill. Not all rounds are in the pictures, after I get my next 16 foot area leveled off I'll start s & s.

A porcupine did this years ago and the last two or three years it didn't have any leaves so I'll give my knees a break from working on the side of a hill and get this tomorrow if it doesn't rain.

Might as well take a pick of my supply chain. Been at my FIL’ s at least 5 days a week since this convid 19 started. Of course we are doing the social distancing. Last pic is of him. 80 years old. He Had shoulder surgery back in January and he is still going strong.

Rubbing itself up against the tree? Horses are b4stards for that too.

Nice woods. Not leaving much of an escape route in that last photo.

Got another face cord of ash split. I think that about does it for me. Now on to the other projects around here.

I don’t have the quality of firewood u guys down south do, but when I find a couple of nice dry standing spruce I consider it a decent score. Was logging a few milling spruce and happened to see these. Be nice for next winter.

I had planned to fell this down the trail I came up on so I felled two Ironwood in the way but after giving the Beech another look it had a natural lean to the west so that's where I felled it.

Pictures 0208 & 09 are the Beech I felled, 0210 & 0211 is another Beech I noticed before I was leaving that will come down, 0213 is the Ironwood, 0214 & 15 are some of the Beech rounds and the last three are coming down from up top where I was cutting.

Last pic.

I'm guessing ironwood is very hard?

I'm guessing ironwood is very hard?

It's a high btu would but I usually only take the damaged trees, since certain creatures in our woods feed off that tree we usually leave the healthy ones standing.

The oldtimers here call it hardhack and others ironwood but this is the name of the tree.

0213 is the Ironwood

Is that white oak?

 

[thewoodlands]

Is that white oak?

The stuff in the trailer is American Hophornbeam or Ironwood and the tree I felled was Beech. The only Oak on both our properties are some Red Oak I planted years back, by the time they're big enough......I'll be planted.
