Now that looks like a cool old trailer. Post up some more pics of that thing.

I cut some firewood this morning, found a new way to do it.

Skidding a piece of Osage to the wood pile.

Osage Orange is fairly rare around my parts. I think everybody used them for fence posts. Hot burning wood.

I have used Osage Orange as acoustic guitar sides and back. Re-sawn and bookmatched

Yep, hot hot wood. It's not indigenous here, it was introduced around here over a 100yrs ago. It's a resilient tree, a fresh planted osage fence post can grow sucker's, it's the same with osage tree stumps. It's my nemesis, great heat but can be painful to harvest.

My kid is now cleaning up our inholding, this is the only picture I have of him since I haven’t been around. I’ll get pics latter this week off a new toy we dropped off since some of the wood was too big for him to drag with the old TSK.

Anybody use a moisture meter?

 

[scrapdaddy]

I've got one, but just for fun to check. My firewood is @ three years old before it goes into the furnace.

Nephew was up visiting over New Years. He had never 'felled' a tree over 12" in diameter (and not many of those).

I had a fairly large Sweet Gum tree that the top had blown out of, so I let him drop the rest of the trunk (with instruction).

Had to get my big saw out for that. But he had fun doing it.

How do you know I'm bored at work. Posting pics on a thread about firewood

Anyways used to get wood with the cruisers and military trailer, now have mini truck on tracks that gets firewood and plows snow all winter. Have a wood furnace that is installed in the shop so I don't have to go outside when it's -40 deg C to fill up the wood burner I burn about 3 cords all winter and save a ton of money on propane that normally heats the shop house. All chopping is done manually but we don't have very big trees up in NE BC so usually no splitting or one hit is all that is needed.

We have an inholding too, most people don’t know what that means though.
