Posty what we have here I think is black locust. Not real heavy but extremely hard. Not uncommon to see sparks come of the chain when you cut up a seasoned one.

We lost a lot of ash trees but we have some new stuff coming along as well. My great-grandfather had a cherry tree in the front pasture. It blew over when in a tornado storm when I was a kid. They cut it up maybe a decade ago. We were so excited to find a tiny foot tall sproutling coming up from the old root system this summer. We mulched it and fenced it off. And we have some young sugar maples coming along too.

I wish I had some chestnuts. I'm jealous man. I remember seeing the shells of the huge old chestnuts lying around on this farm when I was a kid.
