I've got a pecan next to the house some fool planted forty years ago that does that. I'm just waiting for the big one to land in my kitchen. Take it down before it does. I knocked the top out of a maple that was dieing and leaning over.my daughter's room last year. I left the log because it's where I hang my kill cones for chicken processing.

I've looked into it but I need to get a lift in to do it as it would be threading the needle to get it down in pieces.

I had a big limb snap off a burr oak in my yard. It was about 15" at the base. I could never find the time to cut it up. Then I tested positive for covid, couldn't go anywhere so I spent my time cutting up the wood. One positive thing about covid finding the time to clean that mess up.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

You just tossed all those bowls/wine glasses into the woods?

Pine is better Silver is on the lower side of firewood over here. Though it'd sure boil traps. Rock, or Sugar, or Hard, or whatever it's name maple is very good in my region. Been trying to propagate some Jap maple. Not having much luck. Learned a lot about trees on here. "Seeing outside my own woods".

No maple here,our best firewood is Birch and Tamarack. Gotta mix the tamarack though,it burns hot enough to burn out a stove. Winters are long here,I burn everything that comes down on the trails too.

I burn wood that other people dont burn. I cut and burn some Bam,I think you call it cottonwood down there. People dont burn it for several reasons-bam get big and are very heavy,and when dry it burns fast but not too hot.
I like it because the beaver drop them all over the place,and I have to cut some every year anyway.When dry it is very lightweight,it splits effortlessly and makes great kindling. It is good to get a quick burning fire going in a hurry when first coming to camp in winter,then add better wood.
I like to burn it in fall mixed with spruce,when you dont need a long lasting fire just to take out the dampness.
