Willow

[Woodworks]

There is an old old poem on the subject of what types of wood burns....

 

 

 

 

Lets see if I can remember

 

 

Wood

 

If is kept dry

 

and is well seasoned

 

Burns good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its not very long poem.

 

or a very good one

 

 

Other wood poems are available.. but are less accurate.

 

:lol: This poem needs trotting out on a regular basis.

You can't claim willow to be the best wood to burn but it is OK if it is dried.

I'm running my house on willow at the mo and it's OK, even hot at times.

Surprised to hear it needs drying for 18-24 months cos mine was only cut down 12 months ago and is at 18%. Nothing of mine ever gets much lower, even the furniture in the house is 15%

 

Do you periodically split a table leg to check.....
