Those split ends will make great firewood. Once dry hickory burns great. I'd go back and get that stump for slabs or firewood. Didn't appear to be any center rot, that's a real plus. The trees didn't look to be that old compared to the old hollow squirrel den trees I've cut up for firewood. You've got some real nice stuff there. Make some 1.5 or 2 inch planks they wear like iron. Makes a good floor for an old barn hay loft.
@@jims6308 Jim that's what I'm thinking with those split logs. I am looking forward to cutting open a couple and see what hickory is all about. As for that stump I could go back and get it. But it's too wide for my mill. Thanks for the suggestions. Have a great weekend
I always hate having to cut a stump off that high off the ground, but a double like that will never hinge and fall the way you want it if you cut below where it's joined. You always hear how hard the wood is, but the brittle aspect is surprising! Almost have to cut 10 foot lengths to get 8 foot of usable lumber.
I didn't like that tree one bit. It's cracked so easy. It'll be interesting milling it. 10 foot lengths maybe is maybe what I should have done. Thanks for the continued support my friend .
Hope you have better luck than me. Hickory was hard on the blades for me they are so hard . Beautiful wood tho maybe you can show me some tricks. I have a lot of hickory here.
@@markeustice618 Mark, I'm hearing horror stories. I couldn't believe how hard it was. After every face cut my chain was toast. I'm thinking just making slabs lol. Minimize the cuts. I'll try cutting one into boards. We will see what we come up with. Have a great weekend my friend.
@@rodneyslone5797 Rodney, that's what I'm hearing lol. It's brutal on a chainsaw too lol. I'll let you all know how it goes. Have not gotten it up on the mill yet. Thanks for the support. Have a great weekend.
Good morning Jerry, this video will bring out all internet loggers 😂. That double tree was a bit sketchy. Did you cut the stump on that double tree? I had visions of setting that on the mill for cool cookies or slabs. That’s a bummer that they split, those were nice logs too. That hickory mills like concrete 😂. Have a great weekend buddy ‼️
I didn't take that big stump. I didn't think it would fit on the OS27. It probably would have made great slabs. Milling like concrete. That's scary lol. I'm hearing the same. You guys have a great weekend as well. Mike are you going to be at the Paul Bunyan?
@@BigelowWoodcraft unfortunately no, I’d love to go but the farm keeps me here. We’re getting the northern edge of the hurricane, more rain and wind. The rain has started already and the wind tonight.
@@AppalachianFarmstead I suspect we will get it as well in a couple days. Darn I was hoping to meet up. We will make it happen some day. Have a great one

@@jims6308 I'll count the rings in the biggest log I have
I am really jealous. I know exactly where those logs came from. You mentioned the tractor and that gave it away.
@@Concealed1911 you know Mike? Hey if you want some of this I'll give you some.
@@BigelowWoodcraft I work with his neighbor and have done work down their. I actually know the tractor story. Very lucky.
@@Concealed1911 it is pretty melted. He's damn lucky
