Spent the day in the woods and found lots of standing dead wood. There's so much good firewood, I was drooling We're probably up to 2.5 cords against a target of 6.
Cut down 3 black locusts that were very dry. Sounded like a wood block - we were making music! We've stacked this wood in the garage to keep it dry and get us started for the winter.
Cut down a cherry tree that was about a cord. Our new chainsaw (Husqvarna 562xp) went through it like butter! That's what's stacked off to the right in the picture.
Took home 3 truckloads worth thanks to help from the in-laws. Some maple in there, but mostly locust and ash.
Anyone else spend their day cutting? Thoughts on how cherry burns? There's a ton dead due to a major windstorm. The area where we are focusing on has mostly locust, maple, and cherry.
Sand Ridge was beautiful today!
