Is hard maple on of the more popular firewoods in your region?

Yes, it is fairly common being a species in the Northern Hardwoods group and is excellent firewood. It is also known as Sugar Maple.

I don't have enough of them to make them a big part of my firewood stack. I have actually started to clear around the ones I have to encourage them to grow. I want to tap them.

That's a fun thing to do - tastes good too. Keep at it so that the tops have plenty of room to expand as they grow. The best tapping trees have big full tops.

And the clearing is diversifying my woods along with giving me some firewood from some trees that I would probably not cut otherwise.

I took about 5 bucketloads from my wood pile up to the house today. It was about 18 F when I did this. Suppose to be in the 60’s next week.

Cut down a tree late last winter. Got the big stuff out and left the top. So today I wormed my way back in there and got that cut up and hauled out.

When this place was logged many years ago there were a lot of holes left that hold water (skeeter holes). Put all the brush in one of them and packed it down best I could. Still got a ways to go to get that hole filled in.

Don't know what the deal is with my fon. It can take better pics than this. Must be the loose nut on the trigger.
