Osage and Locust Score From This Year.

[Locust]

Osage score that I got. Check out those rounds!! Big for Osage. This has got to be the heaviest, hardest, most dense woood I have ever dealt with. Started to unload it and almost forgot to take a picture. My friend got access to cut along an old railroad bed that is about a mile and a half long lined with an Osage fence.. Doesn't get better than that!

This is a locust score that I got from a school. It was already cut! My fellow employees were looking at me funny. I asked a co-worker to assist me with a piece that I could not move myself. He rode on my tailgate to get the wood and about freaked out. It was his first time riding on a tailgate. Needless to say, he walked back up the hill. City People!!

Below is a picture of the area we were cutting along the Osage fence.

Nice! I love seeing that Hedge split. You would think it would glow in the dark!

Gotta love that Osage! Tough on saws but, as hot as it gets!

 

[Flatbedford]

Two nice scores. Some the most best firewood you could get there.
I remember riding in the back of pickups and on tailgates when I was a kid back in the 70s. The guys who were driving those trucks would probably be put in jail for that today.

And to think we used to stand up while riding in the back of a pickup. Just seemed the natural thing to do and we lived through it too!

On the wood, that is a nice find!

I have never burned Osage before. It will be interesting. There is a lot more available, so I will post my next score.

I have never burnt osage either but a darn lot of black locust just like you have there.

Darn good score! Looks like extra work getting it out, judging by the last picture.

The saw dust will stain your clothes and it has a sticky sap.

There were some close calls. Scrappy mess!

Make sure you can really control the air on you stove before you burn a big load of it. It can and will over fire a stove. But if you can meter the air right you will get tons of heat and real long burns. My wife and i cut 2 hedge trees this year. We started a burn pile to handle the small limbs. That fire got so hot by the end of the day that we couldnt get close enough to it to throw the last few limbs on. That same fire pit still had 3 inches of red coals the next morning. It really is amazing stuff.Enjoy!

I'm not native to this area but we certainly like it here, going on 30 years now. It will take on a different look for the next week or so as LLB is in full swing. I suggest you come visit your sis and take a slight side trip to Pennsdale(my home) with a truck load of that funny looking stuff and I'll reward you by helping to unload it...and a cold bev of your choice

Also be careful opening the door on the stove with the osage in there, it will throw sparks out.
