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?

DB 1490?

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

Sorry, is this any better?

 

Excluding the railway and the loch, surrounded on all sides by thousands of acres of forest and woodland.

 

Big for a silver birch, and stuck in a really awkward spot at the bottom of a slope

Got stuck in on Friday evening while waiting for someone to come and collect something, nearly all split now, probably 10 rings left👌👌

Selling firewood is much like selling drugs. All cash, the end user gets a warm fuzzy feeling until they run out, and most importantly, the dealer should avoid using their supply!

 

The mill extension is providing very handy for a chop saw, to cut anything. It’s freed up a bench in the workshop that previously held a chopsaw for infrequent use. It’s much better with the bunks providing a decent length of holding capability. Post weathertops are child’s play- as is bagging up the scabs without moving them five times!

can you sell the scabs as firewood?

Not really as down South. Firewood is more about form than function in the Home Counties, so I sell the nice uniform ash and beech off the processor and use the scabs myself or sell to friends for £20 a bag.

 

I'd only get £30-40 a bag to a customer, so not worth the time for a lad to deliver it when they would otherwise be taking a £90 bag of 'neat' logs.

I’m glad you exercise the proper fiscal attitude towards the aforementioned ponces. Skin em while you can.

Yup, never smoke your own supply! The joke is on them as the softwood burns hotter.

and softwood is better for you as you have to get off the sofa more often to load the stove.

I sell them cut up through the Branch Logger for £50 a cube.
