My Little Lumberjack

[Jim Ketron]

Well me and My little lumberjack (Riley) went to the burn pile to see what we could find! Mommy even dressed him for the occasion (look at his shirt) I must say he must have brought some luck along with him, We hit the jackpot, found a Nice size Box Elder about 4' thick in the trunk area and plenty of Red Flame. But most of of the trunk area was hollow and had a bunch of barbed wire and nails in it so I didn't bother with it. also ran into some bullets, this tree must have been close to a house had all kinds of graffiti on it. I will have to be careful turning this stuff hard to tell what I will find in it. So I guess I will have to break out the metal detector on this stuff.

Looks like someone has a cute helper with them. Nice score on the box elder.

 

[Sean Troy]

Nice haul. Isn't Box Elder in the Maple family?

 

[Natastic Emerson]

Yes.
It is synonimous with 'Manitoba Maple.'

Jim,

You have a really cute son. Take care of the little tyke, and don't forget to spend time with him. They grow up really fast.

I miss those days...But not the sleepless nights. My two sons are almost all grown up, and taking care of themselves now. I wonder how we got here so fast... 😕

Nice wood by the way. Looks like you spent the day the same way I did. I cut down and processed three trees today. I stayed in my own yard ( :cool2: ) but I'm still worn out! I'm getting too out of shape to do this anymore!
