Jesus! That’s almost a carbon copy of a grade school in the next town over.

My sugar maple split very easily, and dried over the summer, cut in the spring.

This stuff you can’t split it with a maul. Sometimes you have to set a splitting wedge in a saw kerf first and drive it home with a ten pounder.

I drive it home with 20 tons or more. I like how it burns, but oak seems to last longer.

I bent the foot plate on my splitter cracking big rounds of sugar maple. The foot is 1” plate with four 1”x2” flat bars welded to the bottom. It’s some tough wood.

The charcoal from sugar maple is what they use in making Tennessee whiskey, very dense wood.

Brings back memories... some good, some not so good I was thinking. Institutionalized Midwest school architecture.

 

[ruel]

Institutional design for sure. Duck and cover kiddos!

Builds strong character, nothing better than drafty windows and painted block!

I really don't like the sound of my colleagues' saws. This saw is in urgent need of repair.

 

[flushcut]

I give you a 10 for sticking the landing.

Burnhams gonna kick yer ass for still wearing your spikes on the ground 😬
I'm still stinging, years later LOL 🤣

TIL trees have boobs. Always learning something new here.

Especially for Burnham, I declare that the spikes were not damaged during operation. There is quite a thick layer of snow and ice here. I've had these spikes for 11 years, they haven't been sharpened just a few times. I know for a fact that Burnham, in addition to the spikes, would anathematize me for the wrong way of saving. But as an intelligent person, he will modestly keep silent

 

[stig]

It is not about the spikes as much as gaffing yourself.

 

[ruel]

Icy day on the island. We got some micro spikes now though, way better. Felling and stacking spruce for later owner tractor moving. So physical compared to our normal day. Wind really picked up and had a bumpy ride over Whitecaps back into shore.

 

[Burnham]

That first pic looks NASTY.

 

[lxskllr]

Looks like tough terrain with the ice.

 

[gf beranek]

Right footwear, no problem

 

[PCTREE]

Tuned in to the right gear for the conditions on the TREEHOUSE

That is a positive note for the house

 

[SeanKroll]

Hanging dead alder stubs.

 

[ruel]

Absolutely right Paul, we've been stubbornly slipping for years! Just took a quick suggestion to set us right.

That seep is like that every year, a non freezing spring bubbles out maybe 35' back and makes a crazy layered ice sculpture

Nice Sean! So satisfying to set a spar down inches from a target

 

[Maximalist]

It's snowing and raining today, but I'm not giving up

 

[treebilly]

Andre as much as I despise that kind of pruning it really does look nice when you are done. Nice work

 

[ruel]

Luckily no hills in St Petersburg!

Thank you for appreciating my humble work! Beauty will save the world!
