Look what I found

There is a pile of chopped logs in a old bay which I keep wondering about. The trunk looks like Oak, but under the tarp there looks like a lot of beech. I think its been there for at least 6 years

Very spalty. I wouldn't burn it or build anything structural out of it, but it's really pretty.

It was left by the previous owners of the house. It should have been split for firewood when it was felled but they just stacked the logs at the back of an old silage bay. I'm going to dry some out and see if it's any use for boxes etc

Nice.
I buy a lot of beech for our wood burner. Some of which gets put to one side for exactly that reason.
I do not think therefore I do not am.
