So I found a very decent scrounge on Kijiji. 2 cords of White Birch that's been bucked into 14"-16"
lengths. The typical diameter would be roughly 12"-14".
My question: If I wanted to make up some "overnighters" do you think I could just knock the outer
edges off and get some 10-12" Blocks that would be completely free of bark and still season? I know
that I have to split them because Birch will rot because the bark is waterproof. Should it be OK
with edges removed and stacked in the open?
I live in Alberta and have an open field and pallets so the wood gets LOTS of wind and plenty of
sunshine so the wood seasons much quicker than in other geographical areas.
Thanks in advance.
