Holiday cut

[msherer]

Had a few hours to spare so I jumped in the treeline an cut me a quick pile.

Must be nice working out there without any snow!

Nice looking stack you got

 

[Sinngetreu]

Nice stack.
What kind of wood is that? Is the heart wood bright yellow?
I have some wood that I am burning that looks like that and I haven’t been able to ID it.

Hedge. My favorite. It fell over last year and had some darn fence grown in it. A bit tricky but I it lose from the root ball. I left a good portion of the trunk cause of all the fence but I still got a good pile. That's just half of that tree so plenty more. I stacked the brush around the stump so that should make for a good brush fire.

There's a large locust tree about 20 yards down the tree line that's dead so that ones next. Lots of red maple too. My neighbor wants the trees cut back from his hay field and told me to go crazy.

The hedge I have was a lot more yellow when cut and the exposed to air parts were a dark deep orange. As long as we are calling hedge the same thing. Osage orange tree.

Oh man you guys have some hot stuff there. Hedge apple, osage all the same. Good stuff. Lots of sparks!

 

[msherer]

Yes, Osage orange. My son thinks the fruit looks like brains. It does burn hot, only thing I like more than hickory.

The stuff I'm thinking of is yellow like that, but doesn't have the shaggy bark. I actually mistook it for young ash when I cut into it. Then the yellow chips started flying....
