Sitting inside, outside minus 16. lol will be cutting ironwood this Spring.. Will it dry any faster if I ring it when leaves develop and then cut a couple of months later? Or just cut in early spring into 18” length?
Thanks

I would cut it before it starts running sap up, if you split it once it will be dry by fall I would assume.

X 2 what Donner said.

Thanks I hear what your saying and I should have added we currently have a couple of feet of snow. When the sap runs I’ll be tapping maple trees.

Got carbide chains?

^^ No BS there!!.... Ironwood aka Hophornbeam (Ostrya) is HARD!!
