It was an estate sale. The old boy who had it was big into airplanes. Flying Eagles youth ECT... He had a couple cool cars too. Even the hanger sold. Real good auction. The truck was a project he hadn't gotten around to before his health went south. Which is cool I like it more original then modded.in all sense of the word: a cream puff!
I had assumed u bot it new. garaged it during winters. etc. how long have u had it? I see a bi-fold door in background... another large bldg. to L, u at the airport? keep it in a hangar?
I have not split any of it yet, but I was thinking either Butternut or Mulberry, but did not have Locust on my mind.
Will have to go back and look again, and maybe get a pic, but today was too dang busy, and every time I think I have some time the phone rings.
I went out to do just one Tax Return and come home to 6 phone messages! Guess I can't complain!
That cherry was cut 2 weeks ago but was down and off the ground for 2 years before that. Could probably be burned now if I had to.If its not still live when cut cherry dries pretty fast once its opened up. Sure do love the smell!
I want enough rain to get the salt off the roads. I've been getting the itch to get the bike out with this warm weather.It was almost like a spring day today, walked the dogs in a t-shirt after work. More rain coming our way unfortunately in PA.
Nope. Don't own a log splitter. I'm sure a log splitter could handle it, it's not as tough as elm. LOLever split it with a log splitter?...
Mulberry would be highlighter yellow when fresh cut. Don't know much about the other suggestions.I have not split any of it yet, but I was thinking either Butternut or Mulberry, but did not have Locust on my mind.

does the axe in the pix mean u intend to hand split that? I have not heard of peppermint wood. peppermint candy canes. and I have peppermint in my herb garden. does it have a peppermint smell to it at all? wondering...
Sawmill operators deal worth PPB a lot. I think a Borax solution, but you could read up on it atvthe other COUGH (ForestryForum) COUGH forum I won't mention by name.So I have some standing dead Maple that are in the bottom of the slough/gully. Tall few branches nice to work with.
But... They seem to be infested with powder beetles. I cut some last year and it was 1st in last out. Was like handling flour bags and my fear was infesting the wood shed.
Is there a way to kill them? My guess is best leave em to the wood peckers...
From the description my guess is mulberry.When I dropped the Black Walnut I had to cut a few good size limbs from another tree to get it to drop. The bark did not look much different, but the wood is a yellowish brown.
Anyone have any idea what I cut? The tree seemed to have several near vertical trunks about 8" in diameter.
I've never run into any of it, but I've read that Sycamore is very difficult to split. Man does that look fugly. Is it any easier to split if it is frozen, green, or well seasoned? Or is it just a f**ker no matter when it's split?Split some sycamore that came with the free walnut last summer. DO NOT take this wood if you don't have a Hydro splitter.I split elm yesterday that was easier to split.View attachment 713262

If the logs dry for a year is it easier?

Stuff doesn't last to long once it's on the ground. I have split some that was dry but it was like balsa wood. This was green cut this summer. Maybe split better half dry.If the logs dry for a year is it easier?
Win for you !
As far as I know , fire kills fungus ...
