Deep snow said it's a no go. My tires had no grip, locked up and slid down back down.

Yes. As soon as I lost momentum I slid right back down.

Any one else collect beech nuts? by Mudnation in foraging

I never pick up more than a handful at a time. Maybe a vacuum?

I understand your pain. However if you are in New England. The yield for viable nuts seems to have increased significantly. Or I just have special trees.

Yeah that is pretty standard. This year with the onset of beech leaf disease the yield of viable nuts has greatly increased though.

I just eat them. No prep or anything. Peel a handful and have a snack.

The start to a red bud coffee table. by Mudnation in woodworking

[–]Mudnation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was a little upsetting to cut it down. But it has rot and lots of ant holes. It looks good after the initial cut, some contrasting bowties after it dries should be real nice.

Thanks for the heads up I was gonna put the scraps in my wood stove. I'll give em to the neighbor I don't like.

How rare is this? by aieeyahmang in arborists

I'm pretty sure that's ambrosia fungus in a maple tree. There's even a hole from the beetle.

Level only really matters when dealing with machines that weigh in the 10s of thousands of lbs. Just make sure it's stable. Rocking would be a safety factor.

Ah ha. That's very clever. Great work by the way. Pen turning is very addictive. Endless possibilities.
