2010年8月11日 · The easiest way to tell a Pignut Hickory from a Bitternut Hickory is to crack the nut and eat the nutmeat. Bitternut Hickories will taste like they are loaded with quinine - have a glass of something sweet nearby that you can drink after this test. Pignut hickories nuts are very small, and don't have the bitter taste.

2008年4月8日 · I cut up a downed hickory last year , and I will agree, it did seem to season really fast. I was surprised how quickly it dried out. Hurricane Irene uprooted two big hickory trees along my riding trail in my woods. Worked one down to the trunk wood, was a good mature 35- 40 foot tree. Wow lots of nuts this year.

2024年12月29日 · This is the pignut I am familiar with and have. Bark is very different. Edit. It’s possible I’ve put my foot in my mouth, but the second batch of photos bark is very different, but the top could be a possible match. Second edit. I confused the OPs photos with stove liker’s 🤦🏻‍♂️. It very well could be pignut hickory

2011年1月16日 · The bark on the long trunk section ( center right pic) looks like it could be hickory. So does the curved branch in far left pic. If hickory, it is probably either bitternut, pignut or mockernut, judging by the bark. Mockernut is the most common and it has very little dark heartwood, even in big diameter pieces. Some call it white hickory.

2008年10月17日 · There are many types of hickory, and looking again at the pictures this could be one of the smooth-barked hickories. Pignut Hickory is the most common smooth-barked hickory here, so that is what I'll call it. Shagbark Hickory, and the less common Shellbark hickory have the really conspicuous shaggy bark that is easy to recognize.

2013年10月31日 · I have seasoned hickory in my reserve stash that is ancient. It burns super but offers no help. Its also got bugs. I have shagbark and pignut that was cut this year. November. It read 38%-42% on the MM. I have decided to split them at 3". Most of the pignut is still in rounds. On this wood I save everything.

2010年12月25日 · My pignut and shagbark are dry as you'd want them right now (>20 easy). I live in mass and had them split and stacked since Mar. Downed and bucked in Dec. Id say cover it on the top now that were in Oct after this dry week ahead and your ok. Hickory is dense as oak, starts off lower mc, but dries fast. It will still weigh a lot even when dry.

2007年7月20日 · This looks like Bitternut Hickory to me - I cut a lot of it on my father-in-law's property. The photo of the smoother bark gave it away for me. The photo with the round split in half had the bitternut dark streaks in it as well.

2019年11月28日 · I have had both shag bark and pignut hickory.. I split them pretty fresh.. It may sit in log lenth for a month or so put still pretty green. I go hydraulic so I'm not having any problems. Split green if you can. athe seasoning process really doesn't start untill the wood is split. So if your wood sits for 5 months.. that will not count.

2024年12月23日 · thin bark consistent with hickory; Borer infestations (brown dots) that can be seen in cross sections of pics that is consistent with hickory borer ; Whack/ split a few rounds. If hickory wood, it will have characteristic stringy fibers. …
