I have nothing but time lately, so I'll probably still split the stuff up for exercise if nothing else, but
I cut up a downed silver maple into 22 inch rounds. I shoulda been suspicious of its quality when cutting because it was like cutting butter. When splitting it either split right apart in big spongy thuds or the maul would sink in.
I am working on a pile for the 21-22 burning season, so if I season this stuff for 18 months, would it be dry enough to be burnable? I feel like I cut it up right at the brink of it being useless, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had success drying similar stuff out.
