There's a guy on CL who is thinning out his property fairly close to home (as close as Im going to get in the "city"). He has listed birch, we call it river birch but Ive seen it called other things here.
Ive always seen here that birch needs to be split asap to let the moisture out (same reason it was good for hundreds of years to make canoes). How quickly is that though? I had a scrounge that some one brought me that was about 1/2 good to go and 1/2 punky but I have no idea as to how it had been cut down.
I don't want to bring a ton of wood home and pile it up in my stack of rounds that need to be split and have them sit till Jan. till I rent a splitter if they're going to be half gone by then.
Thanks for all the info over the past year, and to come!
