Todays work on the Basswood

Before and after pictures with some of the rounds from the basswood tree. I left the ends up because the deer have been bedding down underneath.

I cut a little bit of Basswood this summer and what a pita it was to split. Chainsaw went through it like butter but the little 8 ton splitter had problems and kind a smushed through it. I let a few rounds dry out some til a week ago and they split much better.

i had no problem splitting basswood, some crotched were stringy but for the most part it just popped apart.
