I grew up on a farm with two (2) wooded areas to go along with a mile of river-bottom along the south and east sides of dad's property...we did a ton of wood-cutting, stacking, bringing to the house and storing in one of the old wood horse stalls every fall...and then had to bring the dried chunks of wood into the house, weekly, for burning in the fireplace during the winter time.So, in the four years we've owned our property, we have learned so much about trees in general and therefore firewood. We cut oak, walnut, hickory, beech, sassafras.
Today, some pre-firewooding chores. Playing with my new-to-me Christmas present to myself. Then later we tried to cut rounds off that 32" oak log behind me. That resulted in ground contact and rendering my chain completely useless.
Here's an old pic of the fruits of our labor. That all went to a good friend.
It was just pointed out to me that I have posted another pic featuring RBF.
Watch this video. Mike Morgan is my spirit animal.
We haven't been in the woods since the last round of rain. I'm sure it's soggy, and they're calling for more rain and above freezing temperatures during the day this weekend.I have to work on my splitter.. I don’t use it much but it’s nice to have when needed. I bought a Honda 8hp motor to put on.. need to rebuild or replace the 4-way valve. It started giving me issues a couple years ago& I just bought parts to rebuild it. Not enough hours in the day. I was cutting up some smaller stuff this morning before I went to work
Going to put pontoons on the ranger to get back to the woods. Last week I had 3”-4” of standing water in places. Need some good cold weather!
