what's the difference between this and 'normal' lumber for woodworking? What makes it firewood?

[Matthiaswandel]

Firewood gets burned.

Lumber for woodworking gets woodworked.

Usually, the firewood lumber isn't that good a lumber, but some parts of it often are quite nice.

The band saw came out really nice. I had to look twice to see if it was the one you made yourself.

Matt...

Much safer to devise a work-hold to remove the worst of the rough on the bandsaw. Then you go to the planing machine/jointer. Regardless of whether you plane it off or bandsaw it away, it's still waste. Much safer and less wear on your planer knives, which are always a hassle to change and reset!

I am going to look thro' my woodpile!

Maybe. I saw a shop heater once, made from a 50 gallon drum to burn a charge of packed sawdust.
