Seasoned walnut
It only took us about 40
minutes to cut up half of that
walnut tree.
We stacked the small stuff in the trailer
so it might dry out a little faster.
I think it's still good
and hard due to the amount of struggle in the chainsaw.
Another year or two and it
might be too rotten.

Walnut
What's your plans for that wood? Just to burn?

Walnut firewood
I know it seems a bit wasteful to burn high quality walnut. At the same time, that's the hardwood we have on our property --- our floodplain is too wet for the usual contenders (oak, etc.) And we've got scads of walnuts. So, yup, firewood.
