what logs have you been chopping today!

[Stubby]

Been splitting some ash that was felled in the spring . It is absolutely bone dry ! Goes off with a bang on the splitter !

Got offered a felled ash today, was very grateful and sawed the trunk and large limbs into carry sized pieces, sawed up the branch wood for the tree owner's chimenea, both happy chaps at the end of the afternoon.

I can't remember the species, maybe sycamore, this was a few months ago right in the middle of town, up to about 1m wide, and had some lovely old ceramic insulators buried deep in it

Big old pile of wood someone has (look how far away the splitter is), you'd have to watch, without a suitable shed to keep it in it would rot before you burnt your way through it.

 

 

And back to working in the dark

More logs than I've had in for ages this week.  A big Ash that I felled last week, all cut and split, about 4 ibcs full, drying in the sun.

5 or 6 ton of Sycamore collected yesterday, first ton processed yesterday. 

It's made lovely logs but they were literally running with water as I was splitting them. I plan to leave them out in a long low pile in the barn until I need the floor space, but I think they will need to go in ibcs outside for the summer👍

That looks like a setup for the Sahara forest joke, no trees left near there.

Big pile of Sycamore logs ringed up yesterday ready to split👌👌

Up the Moss fetching down some Lodgepole pine, to cut and split and stack over the summer. With the resin  pumping out of the stump instantly after cutting  it should have extra burning value methinks!

I though the old girl looked rather fetching in the first image was all.

The big Ash are too good to cut up for firewood( and zero iron or other  contamination that I have found, since the roadside had never ever been fenced) to be joined by more selected Ash and the better, straighter heavier lengths of Hawthorn( which is the firewood in the 3rd pic).

Bonus photo.

She bagged her man(aka he chased her till she caught him!), the one with the 2012 Professional G Wagen plus an OM 606 re-engined 40 year old G  as a daily driver.

He was the bloke that sorted my leaky injection pump(on the 461 van)that no one else would even look at btw.

P.S.

Any desperate fathers with unmarried daughters that might be interested in wor recently single and unmarried 31 year old Son?
