Mother nature sure is nice

[TimJ]

I had at least 4 good size dead standing trees and over the last week mother nature took care of three of them. I still have a very big white oak dead standing that I may attempt to fell but for now I have resisted. Last week mother nature took down a big maple and a sycamore. Christmas eve brought high winds again and brought down a big shagbark. It could not have dropped in a better place. It did not take any other trees with it when it went either..............pictures do not do it justice. It is a big one.

Merry Christmas to you!

Like your MN is nice approach but she usually don't care when & where she drops them.
If any are near something they might damage, I've learned to take them before MN does

Bucked up yet

Seems like the only thing they get wrong with our weather are the winds (never did get them this last storm) nice score,

Good for you Tim! Nothing like free BTUs. Show us some pics of the work when you get a chance. I want that c/s/s, with pics, by New Years day.

Did the deed on this shagbark this morning. It didn't take long with a new chain. Also took a picture of some of the rounds of maple I got the othe day. Couldn't take much as there is a little snow on the ground.

Nice rounds and free, more or less.... Pictures like that make me all weak in the knees and my heart skips a beat or two.

How long will that shag take to season?

 

[TimJ]

etiger, if cut in the winter like this one, two years. If your ahead of the game, three years. Minimum would be a year and a half if split in the spring or early summer.

When it's all said and done you might have enough hickory for a small smoker ,good job now get them little rounds split.

They're usually full of rather deep woodpecker holes here if left to MN to drop.
I hope you get much more solid wood.
