  1. Probably just heavy because it's wet. It's not a great firewood because most of that weight is water, it's quite lightweight when its seasoned. Been a while since I've had any so can't quite remember the smell, but I've a vague memory of it being sweetish but also slightly unpleasant somehow.
  2. That bark looks more like Pear to me. I don't have much experience splitting that. I've done lots of Hawthorne though and had no trouble at all. Yes, the grain isn't that straight, but it doesn't seem to impede things at all.
  3. Looks that way.
  4. But he's better than Biden ................ And we're no longer part of Europe, and we don't like Europe anyway.............. Hence Trump and his ensemble are good. QED

  6. It'll be even better by an hour this time next week. Brilliant.
  7. Nice plan, can't fault it.
  8. Got it, the central bit of the chair back. Why cleft oak though?
  9. Maybe. The scale didn't look quite right though, too small. What's the splat?
  10. Not sure if this is the time/place/thread to ask this, but hey ho. What lead you to make the change from that to hanging around in trees, cranes and an arb forum? It's a rather dramatic change.
  11. Steam bending Ash? What are you making?
  12. I've been seeing, (or rather hearing, they sound massive), isolated Bumblebees for the last couple of weeks now. When the sun is out.

  14. This is good. Lots of interesting book learning about how trees and forests work. A little Tree Huggy but not excessively. (I'm not buying the theory that trees are sentient beings).
  15. What are you on about now? Military service record? Employment status? Vehicle towing capacity? Off-road capability? Precision of kindling splitting? Annual income? This teammate nonsense is BS you know. There are a plethora of people that you disagree with, as you might expect. They obviously have that in common, but that doesn't make them a team. Even less, a team conspiring to make Davey's life a misery. You can stand down now soldier!
  16. Got there in the end.
  17. Wow. Thank you.
  18. No, just three very easy questions. You could just give Y/N answers if you don't like writing long posts. Do you think that Trump is successfully playing Putin? Do you think that weathermen and climate scientists, the NOAA, are just waste that needs deadwooding? Do you think that it is prudent to cut funding to Public Libraries? Nothing whatsoever to do with Covid.
  19. No, you misunderstand. I don't think anyone is envious of you, despite all the bragging. Quite the opposite in fact. This is a digression. Steering back on track, do you think Trump is successfully playing Putin? I don't, I think Putin is playing Trump to an absolute banger of a tune. He's probably over the moon, with the ideal puppet in his hands now. What about weathermen and climate scientists, the NOAA, do you agree that they are just waste that needs deadwooding? Public libraries? Trying to get you to actually answer some questions here for once, to provide a prism through which Trumps actions can be viewed as positive.
  20. So then. Hands up anyone who thinks that he is going to display more business acumen with other people's money? The money of the American people. The poor American people so down trodden by the massive problems of wealth inequality in the US, that they felt that they had no choice but to vote him into power. Would anyone care to explain how he is suddenly going to pivot 180° after decades worth of business failures? I just don't get it. It's weird.
  21. Interesting idea, but does sound like bollocks. We look forward to hearing the outcome when you try it. I think it's bacteria on the thorns that cause most of the problems. Maybe that would perform the alchemy of turning beef into venison. That shadow under the skin there is I'm pretty sure a blackthorn that I never managed to dig out at the time. I'm surprised to see it still there, not checked it in years. I thought that it had somehow been subsumed by the flesh. Unusually for these, it wasn't particularly painful, probably because it was nowhere near a joint.
