Brill we did some Sycamore last week . Ringed it up at the yard . Left the rings open to the elements and it cracking like mad a week later

I ringed up a 27t load of syc and ash a couple of months ago - and it's killing me splitting it now, it's so dry! Makes a nice change to last year :-)

Pity the poor sawmillers - we can't cut anything of any value at the moment as it will just get destroyed by the hot dry air!

What do the sawmillers do in countries that have a climate like this for much longer periods of time?

due to last years wet weather all this seasons cut and split and undercover in preparation or the rain!!! it's very cool under the logshed roof!!!!

Sycamore we felled three weeks ago is now taking some splitting.

Other work - no one cuts high value hardwoods outside of winter on the continent.

Does anything you've already milled just before the warm weather comes not dry too quick and crack?
