Yes i'm down under - they only reason i am a bit hesitant is that its down a slope i will have to wheelbarrow it up to my truck. I don't want to say yes then regret it.....I'd do it. Its chainsawed into some weird chunks, though. They will be shorties...
Are you in Austrailia? A nice pile of wood.
Ours is not to reason why......... i presume it was easier for them to move it that way - they never intended to use it for themselves and access is going to be tight and hard work but its all been cut so i think i will take a punt on it. Thanks for the help guys.the oak i cut normally looks more reddish or darker brown towards the center, and overall not as light colored, but i honestly can't give any educated guesses. also, the white/pin/black oak i have don't have that smooth of barker on the larger parts, but the smaller stuff looks similar to mine as far as the bark. why did they cut the larger rounds so short?
Yes - take a punt is like 'have a go' a bit of a risk.So when we use the term "punt" it usually means we give in, or give up. Drop back ten and punt. Guessing you are taking a crack at it by using the term punt. Looks like a Maple species from here.
90% of all our wood is Hardwood - the only softwoods we have are introduced from the early European settlers.Isnt everything there at-least a hardwood?
Tasmanian Oak
Not too sure this will be my first year. I have just started to have a few fires this year as we are entering our shoulder season. I am using some of the wood i cut ~ 12 months ago. Its been stored on pallets but not in the best spot for drying as it is up against a fence with 3 rows to a pallet. a bit too tight but i have limited space and i am more concerned with getting a decent quantity rather than optimal drying.Sounds like some tough wood.
What's the seasoning time there for oak?
(i'm thinking you have a drier climate but not sure)
