Standing Tall!

This big maple is up in the same area I cut the "Long Bar Cherry" it made it through the storm on Tuesday, I'm glad.

A few more pics of some storm damage done in the same area the big maples in, a couple are in a different area.

Glad that big girl made it through the storm, Zap. That'd be a great tree to tap for syrup....several jugs could be put on that tree...
You've got your hands full. Take your time, don't overdo it. You may want to consider putting some of that stuff up for sale after you C/S/S it......so it doesn't 'rot' in your stacks. You have to be good through about 2020, right!

If I was closer, I'd be up there helping you bro.

I'm not really sure KC, this is a guess but I would say 6 years up, a chit load to cut & split. I took another walk today in a area that's blocked off by a downed top of a Maple, we have more downed Maple in that area, more in another area I walked to.

I was thinking today what to do with all the downed wood, then it came to me, increase our burn rate! I always hoarded the better wood but this winter we'll burn more of it.

I did one Cherry today then opened up two more trails, that's when I started finding more Maple, I gotta stop doing that. You would like working back on the Woodlands.
