Nice load of firewood elijah, what type of weather are you getting?

Cave2k said:Makita bought out dolmar and I almost bought one the other day but went with a used 029 stihl like my other 029 which I have had for 23 years (now I have a spare in case something happens to my 025). The used one I got seemed to have less power/compression until I got a tank of gas through it. Oak can be rough on a blade but now I have 3 stihls to handle the job. Now If I could clone myself I could get the "heavy" loaded easier. Oak sure burns nice though and that fiskars will do a job on it too!
Gasifier said:Nice work Elijah. I like that trailer. I am keeping my eyes open for a used one to pull behind my father's tractor. How much wood do you go through in a year?
bogydave said:Good load. Nice trailer too.
I bet it was about all the trailer wanted. Heavy load?
Got it all split & stacked by now I'm guessing

Oh yeah, it's all stacked.......... in the trailer! Yeah, it was heavy alright. I was surprised that the oak spit easily with the Fiskars. I'd of thought that wood that hard would have been miserable to split by hand. I swung at a couple yesterday just messing around and the 8 inch rounds split after 2 or 3 whacks. Great success!

WOW, & I was just joking.
You are ambitious & busy.
Good job!
I too thought it might be locust, but it's been many years since I cut or handled any, (rougher bark than oak) :zip:

I was joking as well, saying that it's stacked still in the trailer, same way that I brought it home. Smells like oak for sure. I'll get a pic up later,

Black locust was my first guess as well. Cheers!
In the split pic, the medullary rays are visible so it's some type of Oak. Not sure which type...possibly Bur Oak.elijah said:So you think black locust then?

Can you post a pic of the leaves?
