Okay, I answer a Craig's List ad for "free wood" The lady says she has some maple logs by the barn and some more by the north side of the house and a "mountain" of them over the hill. Then she said I could have them all if I wanted the or as many as I wanted.
When some one says "maple" around here (Northern Kentucky) it's a given its silver maple; hard maple such as sugar or black maple is rare here.
Sooo... I loads da saw and and the other needed provisions and cruse over to her place. There were four 20' long x 2' across black locust logs by the barn, and another four black walnut logs from 10 to 15' long on the north side of the house. Not a silver maple to be seen!
Shoot man I didn't even get over the hill to see her "maple mountain" because we had our first snow (3") early this morning. She said the mountain came from the four giant "maples" they had cut down a couple of years ago and just had dumped. I can't wait to get to them "maple logs" cause they were growing out of oak stumps!! :bug:
