Ham Fisted
I'm sure this is a common question, but the search isn't working.
I know the obvious seasons to cut firewood is cooler weather. I like to cut it all year round, but during the warmer months I only cut wood if its in danger of being wasted. We do a lot of clearing with dozers so anytime I get a chance to save some wood before it gets buried in a brush pile I'm excited. My dad doesn't give you much chance to get any cut, I've seen more quality wood wasted than most could dream about.
My question is though, due to sap, is it better to cut a tree after the leaves fall off, or in the dead of winter? Is there a time when a green tree is less green?
What do loggers like, when is the best time for them to cut logs?
