[Ian Flatters]

Some loggers thing, stops the risk of wreaking the valuable timber. I don't do it becasue i don't know how + im lazy. Hence how i split a smaller stem the lowest 2ft is now firewood value.

[Stephen Blair]

ok so stops the fibres pulling, makes sense. cheers

I think its great that the wood is being milled and not chogged for fire wood at work we regulaurly send out an 18tonner of chord and chogged timber completly useless realy great me as i love the foresty side of things:thumbup:
