Log Load, 2016

Mostly oak, he said. For some reason the pulp mills don't like white oak.
Alas, the black flies are out.

Very nice! I'd like to cut some bowl blanks for turning out of that stuff.
What's the going rate for a log load in your neck of the woods?

From wikipedia:
The fiber length of the cellulose fiber is the most important parameter of the pulpwood and determines what it may be used for. The first separation is into softwood andhardwood, that have long and short fibers respectively. In paper production fiber from softwood give tensile strength and fibers from hardwood give opacity.

Started on the pile today. Will be slow. Little bit here, little bit there.

 

[billb3]

No rush.
You should make the 1 June deadline no problem. There's a whole 3 day weekend in there.

Blackflies still bad? They showed up here even though our weather can't decide to be warm or cold. I usually react badly to bites on my legs and they got me

My wife is the same way . . . she generally restricts herself to the screened in porch this time of year. The worse part for me is the swarming in your ears, mouth, nose, etc. . . . at least I get enough protein in this way as I generally end up swallowing several of the buggers during this time of year.

 

[Lake Girl]

end up swallowing several

I really hate when that happens...

[velvetfoot]

Basically finished today. Still have to topcover, gather the uglies, chip/shred other stuff, etc. Came out to 7.3 cords.

 

[kennyp2339]

Good job !!

Lot of work and aren't you a tidy soul! How well do the inner piles dry?

 

[velvetfoot]

We'll see.

Town of Nassau here, got my log load last yr.

Our black flies are smart enough to land on those spots on your shoulder blades that you cant reach.

Some know when your hands are full.

Must be climate change or George Bushs' fault
