Morning Steven! Most definitely, my friend. Should make for some great firewood when it is snowy outside this winter. Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!
Hornbeam doesn't grow around me but I knew of it when I lived on east coast. I made a mallet out of green wood, It checked badly because I used green wood and a piece came off but what remained lasted many years for banging on stuff . A tree in the wild looks like it has "muscles"
You most certainly should hold that Hornbeam wood for personal use. It yields 27.3 million BTUS per cord, where red oak, sugar maple, and Beech is 24 million. Definitely gonna heat the house up well…!!!
@@travisdoesfirewood PS - every street name in my subdivision is a tree name (Hazelnut, Hickory, Hoptree, Huckleberry) and I actually live on Hornbeam Lane! Never knew it was also called Iron Wood tho…!!
Live Oak is my splitters kryptonite. It’s very rare that a saw touches this tree because it’s so beautiful but I did try limb wood and it wasn’t happening. You put out some fun shows 👍
@@travisdoesfirewood I hardly ever split anything dry, alway fresh cut. My neighbor splits by axe and always would rather green wood over semi dry rounds. Just shy of 70, he still rocks the 8 pounder.
You want some concrete wood to split, get some madrone rounds and let them set for a year, 😂😂 big mistake on my part. And heck yeah chipdrop is a lifesaver for tree workers
