I know from reading here that wood doesn't start to season until it is C/S/S but this would prove that wrong. On my way through the neighborhood last night I spied some rounds stacked neatly at the road and was out early this morning to check on it as it was only 2 min from my house. I asked about it and was told to help myself that the tree had fallen just this week and they had cut it up. My thought initially was that this was some easy pickings for next years stack. When I got it home I decided to test a couple of splits and you can see the results so I'm going to burn some tonight. Couple of punky spots but for the most part it's very solid. After I stripped the ivy off with a small axe it is a nice little pile that should last me a few days and only cost me about an hours work.
Anyone else run into this kind of thing with standing (or I actually should say fallen) dead wood.
Also if anyone can ID this wood for me that would be great. Thanks
