logging in the back yard

[spencerhenry]

i sell firewood. but i only have about 14 cords of logs and 6 cords of split wood. around here i could leave the logs in the deck for at least 3 or 4 years before i had any loss to rot. logs left on the ground in the woods are good for up to 3 years.

treeline here is about 12,100'. i am at 8600'

if i cut the conks themselves off of the trees that only have one or two, will the tree continue to rot or will the rot stop?
as of today i am at 221 trees, only a handful of green ones with conks, but now that i am beginning to accept that alot of green trees are infected, i will be taking alot of them. cut one tree today, a dead one, that my 20" bar just barely cut through.
