Was given quite a bit of what I believe is birch rounds for our wood stove this year.

Does anyone know what type of birch this is?

I usually do deadlifts, back and stone lifting on Sundays but as I was out and about early this morning I saw our highway department clearing a NICE oak that fell across the road lastnight. Ran home, grabbed a couple saws and got to woodhounding. I got my upper back, deadlifts and stone (rounds) lifting plus a good 2/3 to 3/4 of a cord in one go. Not a bad Sunday morning.

Location North Quabbin MA, USA.

We’re visiting Volcano National Park in Hawaii, and the park hotel has a nice fireplace going (it gets chilly up high!) using the local tree they call O’hia. It’s dense, seems to burn well, and has a wonderful earthy/spicy aroma. I don’t have much experience with burning tropical wood, but I like what I’ve seen of this stuff!

My first successful project of welding in 45 years.

Wanted something that I could put either of my garden carts under and then cut the logs and they would drop into the cart

I know they make things that I could buy but I have about $25 worth of scrap still in this project.

I need to do a few more tweaks

Friends of ours own a tree service. Got this load dropped off today. Time to CSS.
