Here is a burl in an old Cherry tree, Jet is interested in
what's been in there:
Osage Orange ('hedge') swirls around the old barbed wire
fence. Be careful walking in the woods when the 'hedge apples' are
falling. Osage Orange has one of the highest BTU ratings of all the North
American hardwoods, great for a wood stove, but too many sparks to be good for a
fireplace. The right side photo shows hedge just after it was cut and stacked in
the woods. The bottom shows how it looked after it had seasoned for a
year.
