Hi everyone! I'm back in action after the torn up shoulder. Feels good to be back to splitting. Ordered 5 cords of rounds. Majority was oak, rest is sugar maple and what I think is sweet gum. There is one I'm not sure about. It splits easy and has a nice odor that reminds me of my dentists office lol... Will try to hot link a photo, if not maybe the URL will do the trick, thanks

Black walnut

Nice Pile of wood, so where do you park your vehicles.

The pictures of the inner wood looks to be Walnut, but something about the bark and the rows of wood that is off.

sassafras, smells like root beer.

^agreed. Looks like sasafrass to me as well . Love the smell of that stuff!

 

[hareball]

Thanks guys! It's tough to season wood on this tight little lot. I just try to keep the stacks neat since there is a home in every direction.
I've had black walnut before and it was my first thought when I busted open the first round but then that awesome smell hit me. Never had sassafras. Can't wait to season it and give it a try!!

Sweat gum is really hard to split. I know how tight feels. I have the same problem but do OK.

Wow chief those are great looking stacks of wood ! It's almost like you have a wood garden in your yard ( that's a compliment )

Thanks Pete. My wife likes wood heat but she likes it neat. Well, I will come clean......so do I ;-P When you don't have much room, you really don't have much choice, and living in town, I don't want the neighbors upset.

Great work Steve!! Nice to see another urban stacker!!
I tried the sweet gum with my maul, then the fiskars, then the 5 ton splitter. I need dynamite!

Black walnut

A few stacks

Hareball, I'm happy that your shoulder is doing much better. Now take it easy!

 

[hareball]

Thanks Dennis!! I had taken my little splitter back for repair and they wanted $1 more than it was when it was new. Luckily my father can fix almost anything and was able to bend the ram back in shape so no shoulders were harmed in fact the maul only made an appearance on the mean sweet gum lol!!
