That is a good day. We lost power here for one hour forty minutes, took a ride down to check the brook with the wife and it seems fine but Monday the brook should be up even more.



Did you take any pictures today?

Hemlock is notorious for ring shake like that. I had to cut around a bunch of it for my recent siding project. The good thing is that you don't necessarily lose too much in terms of board feet because the shake is usually quite vertical. I used the scrap for stickers or kindling, nothing wasted.

The hemlock sure has a nice smell to it. Does the hemlock give off that same smell when you burn it?

I guess I have a slightly less favorable opinion of the smell of the wood itself. (I think it smells a bit like crap.) But the pitch pockets in the bark do smell nice and piney. The scraps I burned outside didn't seem to give off a particularly distinctive smell.

100 percent!
