How does it burn, start up and how well does it dry? Heard great things. More so on the drying. Is it like oak? With the grain split, it looks pretty similar in a rough sort of way. Seemed to be pretty wet stuff. Weighted less than my shagbark but still a ton but a different ton. Shag had the little water to dense feel, thus has more of a water feel to it. Split relatively easy.
Really pretty wood though! Stacked my Truck to the brim with the stuff today. Hopefully get to go back. Read the other topics but seemed to be off topic about honey locust. Tree was 35 plus at base but too hot to mess with the bigger stuff.
Glad I've got enough wood because I get to be a wood snob now! First year of scrounging and the most successful thing I've done is show the wife it works. ~16 cords of snob hardwood and counting!
Pics to come.
Thanks!
Pics add - ~4 cords hickory, 1 cord black birch, 2 of red maple, ~8 of sugar maple, 1 of butternut, .5 of red oak, .5 of cotton wood and now another cord of hickory/honey locust. I think that's enough... tho I'm now storing wood at the in-laws...
