Had one of my fathers neighbors call up, he's getting some trees cut would I like the wood? Heck yes! We arrived to find a pile of 7-9ft peices all ready to cut up. I'm pretty sure this is hickory, can anyone confirm?

Wanted to make it all in one trip, so we stacked everything in the trailer instead of throwing it in like usual. Ended up with a heavy load. Stopped at a local scale, weighed in at 20,260lbs. With the truck at 7k and the trailer 3k, that leaves me with 5 ton of wood!

That's a good haul, but MAN those are some serious stacks in the backround of the last pic!
 
How many cords ya think is in that last picture!
 
That's a nice haul.

Some pics and details on your other piles would be nice though. :)
 
If that dump trailer was mine, I would have made two trips with it. If it is Hickory.
I always worry about the mule.
That load calls for a dinner invite for the neighbors. Or an apple pie.
 
That was one sweet Saturday morning .... some serious firewood stacks in your yard. I like it.
 
Yes, that's definitely Hickory. Nice load there!
 
I wonder what specific variety it it? I think both pignut and bitternut have an X shaped bark pattern. That one seems straight in the photos. Stuff splits like a dream. Every split just "feels right", if you know what I mean.
 
Nice haul of hickory. You have been busy for sure. Nice trailer too.
