This is the way I like to get wood a 7 cord load delivered free

Seen a few of the end dumps on their sides here at the local pulp mill any sort of wind well they’re in the air and they’re flopped.

This was just a seedling by western standards, but a good sized poplar for around here. What really surprised me was how sound it is. Usually by the time they get that big they are rotten.

I would have said that was a lab !

I have some big ones like that, that my dad and me, planted MANY years ago. I'm getting ready to cut a couple down and mill them into boards to put on one of the walls in my cabin.

I think that will look really cool, and I like the idea of the light-colored wood in there.

Poplar can make some very nice boards.

Poplar can make some very nice boards.

I have cut several that dad and me, didn't plant, and built things out of them, including a small building. You can get some wide lumber out of them for sure.

Is that Balsam Poplar/Balm-of-Gilead ? We have never seen that hear. Looks like nice wood.

Yours still looks solid Our variety is more rotted by the time it comes down. 2 recent blow downs.

I thought I'd miss all that northern winter nonsense but it turns out I don't. Especially in New England.

I would never live in a place that didn't have "real" winters, including those days well below 0˚F.

On the other hand, I could do with a shorter mud season each spring, and skipping deer fly season altogether would be just fine with me.

I don't mind the weather or even plowing snow. I actually like the snow.

I CAN NOT tolerate rusty cars.

I had to check the picture again! No, it's a regular trembling aspen. Balm of Gilead has different bark, and the heartwood is medium brown colored.

Thanks. That is a nice one then. My Aspen get cankers and die before the bark turns rough.

Me dragging some falldowns with my forestry winch back in September. Very nice tool indeed.

Nice clean looking wood.

Got tired of untangling saw chains, broke down and bought a chain locker.. Takes up to 60" chains by doubling them over the end.

I just leave my chains in the box they came in, or in a Ziplock freezer bag (which is a bit heavier duty than their regular bags). A friend uses short lengths of old fire hose to store and carry his in.
