I got the logs moved out today .The top one had hollow spots --firewood .About3/4 cord firewood and 300 Bd ft saw log .You gotta remember this is a midwestern hardwood not a PNW doug fir .

Yeah it's just different depending on where you are .I've seen the pineywood hills in Colorado and parts of Utah, etc but never the tall timber of the PNW .This side of the state pines are not native ,the other side they are .

What I forgot to mention during that event which is small in comparrison to the east coast storm .When the land lines go out of service the cell phone circuits get over loaded .A voice message might get sent when it finds some space though . I had used a lady friend at work cell to warn my...

That top was solid all the way through ,about 12 inchs at that height.The wind just snapped it like a tooth pick . Fact that same wind knocked down two trees out front of my house and dropped a 90 foot shag bark from the roots through my neighbors house .I'm thinking those gusts were 80-90...

I packed out about two trailer loads of I think yellow pine to the burn pile today .That freakin stuff weighed about like oak .I had the bright idea about a year ago to split the stuff up for campfire wood instead of Tom hauling it to the land fill .Bad plan .

It's about splt proof plus it will bend like a noodle where as oak will just break .They used to use it for things like wagon tongues and stock gates . As it dries elm gets lighter and oak really doesn't seem to loose much weight .Just stays heavy forever .The older you get the heavier it gets...

The dead give away was when he sawed it on an end cutter saw they use to end trim boards to length .Then I smelled the hickory smell .Fact he was even stumped for short while until he made the cut . BS'd with the lumberman a while and he showed me a small stack of American elm which I thought...

I should have known but over looked the fact the top was wind blown before the leaves matured .Bitter nut hickory . One of the northern cousins to a pecan and related to a walnut which explains the nice color .According to the man at the sawmill it's prefered over shag bark because it has...

According to what I see referenced on the net the bark matchs ,the dark wood matchs but the fruit pods do not with Ky coffee .In addition it says the coffee tree has little sap wood but this thing must have an inch and a half of light colored wood on the outside . What ever it is I'll snake out...

It's not elm that I can be fairly sure of .Now there are scattered little elm saplings here and there but the remains of dutch elm disease kills them by the time they get 6-8 inches in diameter .Now those SOB's are hard as a rock dead . There's like a little nut like seed pod of a sorts in...

True but I'd like to know what it is . If it had green leaves I could figure it out but just bark and dark heartwood I'm clueless .

I didn't even know this thing got wind blown until yesterday .I got no idea when it happened except it's got a top full of died on the vine leaves .So it must have been in summer . I just couldn't leave that widow maker .My Lawd if that thing got one of my grand kids I could never forgive...
