This has been hanging over us for some time. But, the time comes where you have to make up your mind to just do it.
And after all, winter is coming.

HaHaHa! Perhaps for the sake of the kitties–but then they’re probably happy for the splits. They love the fire.

What species do you usually burn AV?

We burn deadfall from the property. So far, heavily into ash, with beech and maple thrown in for good measure. Also we’ll be burning a bunch of American Black Cherry, and a smattering of hop hornbeam.

That’s a nice mix! Have fun cutting up that Ironwood(Hop Hornbeam) Hard as a rock, deadfall or not LOL. But ooo, burning Cherry wood, now that makes me sad. D’you know anyone who does turning?

No, but I’ll save some for you, if you do. We had to remove two big trees last year. The cherries are pioneer species–the first to fill in after logging. But they do not compete well for light, so when the maples follow, they are often crowed out and fail. These two trees were compromised, and if they’d fallen, they would have hit the barn.
It would have been nice to save some of the wood for lumber, but the terrain was dangerous, so we opted for a safe plan of cutting in 4 foot segments, sadly, too short for lumber. (Nobody got hurt though, and that was the priority.) There’s not a lot of the ironwood, but we get a little every year. We save it for really cold nights, so it’ll burn long throughout the night.
