Got some work to do.

You should see the top of the hill, the trees up top took a big hit. The white pine, some hard maple and beech. I'll have to go up Sunday to make sure on which trees.

bone dry or burnable after a year? The rounds are 3' in diameter and I am thinking about making some big blocks out of them. But, I may need to burn them next year.

Burnable, I have not checked the M/C yet but it had been cut,split and stacked in the woods (summer of 08) and brought out in April. I would think it will be under 20% m/c.
