This weeks haul

[48rob]

The last week I've spent clearing wooded lots for new construction.
As is usually the case, by the time the site is cleared enough to get the home and utilities in, there aren't many trees left...

But, it sure does add to my wood stock!

Here are the trees I plucked out, laying across the road.

Most are pretty small, about 6"-12" diameter, and 40-60' tall.

Here they are after saving the good parts.

Mostly Cherry, with Ash (I think?) and some Siberian Elm, and Mulberry.

Does this look like Ash?

I don't know how many cords there are, I was way off last time I guessed, but it is a lot more than I had last week...

48rob, nice haul. Not sure on the ash but my guess is 3-4 cord.

That really yellow wood might be mulberry. Good stuff. oops I see you already identified that. Great score of wood. Nice size for cutting and splitting!

Looks like white ash to me . . . but I'm better at IDing trees by the leafs . . . obviously a bit hard this time of year.

Thanks Jake,

It really doesn't matter, Ash is close enough.
It splits easy, burns nice, and Its free!

Splits easy, burns nice and free . . . what more can you ask for? The way I figure it . . . all wood burns . . . and all wood will split up . . . just some wood burns better and splits better than other wood . . . but they all make heat.
