When to Cut Timber

In April 1860 a burr oak fence post set before a Iowa home lasted thirty-nine years, with only three of ninety needing replacement. Posts cut in winter decay fastest. summer cuts prove durable for fences, railroad ties, and buildings. A hickory axle tree cut in July showed no worm-eating after seasoning. A near fifty year example notes a white elm and black walnut sapling post standing after fifteen years. Conclude cut in winter for stump sprouting, midsummer for lasting timber. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is praised for patient relief.
