Two different scores that I saw about six miles from the house, a couple trailer loads total.
Load 1: Never got any before but from what I've seen here, looks to be Sliver Maple. Roasted a chain on some metal in the stump. Grrrr.... I should swear off the yard trees but I really wanted to get some more soft Maple drying.
The other guy had few Mulberry logs that were already cut up. There was a small trunk of what appears to be White Ash; I'll ask him about that later.
Load 2: All Silver. Big load, didn't want to go back.
Unloaded it today. Tomorrow I gotta take a trailer load of fresh meat into town for feeding the Buck 91.
Then I started on a White Ash out back. 19" DBH. It was dead and I had my eye on it, but was wondering how I was going to get it down without damaging a couple of White Oaks nearby. I came out one day, and didn't see the tree. Turns out it had fallen in the opposite direction from where it was leaning, sparing the Oaks any damage. I love it when that happens. So I couldn't be too mad that the top of the Ash broke off and went into a ravine...
I need to get lots of Ash split and stacked; I'm behind the eight ball again, thanks to the Buck 91.
Looks like solid wood, right there.
Couldn't pick it up today; Daylight was fading by the time I got it cut. I'll post a pic of the haul when I bring it up to the processing area...
