    I have a Gransfors Bruks splitting axe, which is a fantastically well made thing. Its great to use but if you're going to be splitting large rings then you'll probably find it too lightweight. I use a cheap maul I picked up for a tenner for that. Wish I bought a Gransfors maul

    Just had a look at your website David, Quick photographers thought - whatever you do don't put any photos on your site if you didn't shoot them, or have a licence to use them. I'm not suggesting that you have done that, just thinking that you don't have many pics on there and wondering where you may get them. Loads of folks that are setting up in business for the first time grab images off the net, then get a huge bill for copyright infringement.

    Cheers Wrsni, It is lovely Now comes the thinking bit. I'm quite happy to take my time and get lots of opinions before I actually do anything. Bren has advised me to divide the wood into sections then tackle one at a time. I'm thinking five plots of around an acre each would make it manageable. Bren's also positively identified those leylandi. The first plot I start work on will most likely have those in and they are almost certainly coming down. When I have a managemet plan organised I need to run it past the family - as its Grandads legacy I can't really go chopping anything down until all concerned are agreed. I'm hoping tha won't be a problem. We will see.

    Ever heard of a 'lumbersexual' - no me neither. I just came across this as I'm a photographer in my day job and The Huffington Post have used three of my images in this feature. See what you make of it: Meet The 'Lumbersexuals': These Unkempt, Bearded Men Are Everything We've Ever Wanted

    Thanks Wrsni, I figured out how to use it and have now double checked the acreage - Planimeter gives me a little under 5.2 acres - good news :thumb up: I guess that means I have roughly five acres to manage instead of my initial estimate of two - happy days :big grin:

    If you have a pine and birch mix then then you have a softwood and hardwood mix not an all softwood mix. Don't want to be picky but you don't want to sell yourself short

    I did mine in King's Lynn, thirty years ago mind I remember a tiny little roundabout with a massive road round it wth lots of exits, crazy. Took me two attempts to pass. Keep at it David

    Just back from a good walk in the woods with Bren - many thanks for your time and advice Bren, much appreciated. Turns out that my estimation of land isn't so hot. Thanks to Google Earth we've now worked our that I don't have two acres, I actually have 5.2 acres

    That can't be too healthy what with the plastic andall the chemicals in the nappies ?

    I've only split fresh. I had some big logs last spring (my local fishing club felled some trees round the lake, free wood for me ). When I collected them they were bright orange. I split them and stacked them in the woodshed. I had an orange strip through the middle of the shed when it was full. Can't tell the alder from anything else in the shed now though (can only see the end grain).

    So, if it's fresh and split its not alder but if its been seasoned and then split (especially if it has a redish tinge) it most likely is?

    Really when I've had alder logs they looked like they'd been Tango'ed Fades to a normal colour over time when seasoning though.

    He looks keen enough but I don't reckon he'll be the fastest
  24. Two Acres
    When I've had freshly cut Alder its been much more orange in colour than that
  25. Two Acres
    Yes indeed
