About a mile from my home I have spied a nice Black Locust that came down from some recent rain.......Did a couple drive by's and figured why not today. My first official scrounge of the fall with my new saw.... photo.JPG
 
Nice! I hope to try out some locust someday. Good score!
 
That is like the most furrowed locust bark I've seen.

UPDATE: Went back to same area and took this oak...I believe it is red oak. A big tree...4 truckloads. Scored some nice btu's today. about 1 mile from home. The last two truck loads the rounds were HEAVY, Like gonna take a pill tonight heavy. Had to have my buddy help me on the last load. Tree was laying down a hill, vines, leaves, by far the most technical cutting I have had to do. Forgot to take a picture of last load. 9 behemoth rounds. I love scrounging wood.

That is some super scrounging. Great firewood.
 
You are a High BTU wood scoring machine.
Great scores.
All looks to be nice straight grain & will make some perfect spits.

Way to go!
