Gnarly Old Sugar Maple

[thewoodlands]

I have three piles of gnarly old sugar maple that I'll get down and stacked before winter, should be some nice btu's.

zap..I think you meant the winter of 2020 by the time you get to burn those stacks.

Only Quads and Backwoods Savage have that much wood cut, weather here sucks the last two days but Friday and Saturday look like good days then the rain returns, guess it might be time to cover just the tops of some cherry and maple.

Zap, might I suggest "Farmville", as a way to spend all of your free time? ;-P Allright already, I'll keep cutting if you do! (please tell me you've stopped! :-S )

Done cutting until I get 8-10 face cord stacked, by then it will be only weekends when I'm not watching Div. 1 college hockey at Clarkson University.

Last year was a tough year for Clarkson so hopefully this year will be better.

Well, I'll be rooting for Clarkson U., for no other reason than to keep you out of the woods and relaxed! :cheese:

I picked up a gnarly, knotted section of sugar maple trunk that someone else didn't want to process. Now a couple years later when I find those splits in the stacks it feels like picking up a rock or petrified wood. Now I know where the term "rock" maple comes from... good stuff. Took a good 2 years to get it seasoned though...

It makes for some great BTU's on those colder nights.
