In The Woods
After I finished stacking the wife wanted to go for a ride so we could check the trails for any downed trees, the trails we checked had some small stuff down but when we checked the trail along the base of a hill we found a good size beech and up from the beech was a nice size sugar maple.

The beech seems llike it will be good (some hollow) and the sugar maple seems real good, attached are some pictures. Pictures 100_1674 and 100_1678 are the beech and the other two are the sugar maple.

I think we got all the rain and you got the wind. Its nice to have mother nature help you out with the felling process.

We had both, Solar nice 60 inch bar do you have anything that big (tree) so you could use it.

Not really and it is close enough to new that I'm not inclined to use it.

no beech around the house zap, but lots up at the deercamp and very nice to work with ;-)

Find the beech and you'll find the deer, we burned some last year and liked it so we have about two face cord of beech and five face cord of sugar maple for when it gets cold this year.

Zap, beech is well noted for being hollow and it will live for many, many years that way. Good find and you'll enjoy the wood.


More wind forecast for us Wednesday but only 30 mph this time....if they are right. Still no big cool down in the forecast so we may end up relatively warm all month.

Down in the 20's tonight, it's been cool and damp the last couple of weeks in northern new york. The cherry and some ugly beech are doing the job so far and that dead standing that I cut is in the garage and being burned tonight.
