Notices the "Howl" it away too.

Who uses sycamore for furniture anyway?

These posts really are ridiculous.

Why do city people think single trees are so valuable? Esp when towering over stuff?? They must see removals all the time seeing as they live in a city!!

Imagine when reality sets in for our out of touch friends: "Wait a minute, you mean people actually pay people to cut trees down? That sounds made up..."

Yea I guess they think the tree service pays those people for the opportunity to come cut down their super technical high risk tree with 4 guys working all day , one climber 2 ground guys and a guy in a bucket. To piece the tree down and then blow it into a chip van? Where they have half a million tied up in gear???

I mean seriously?
 
Here's the deal of the century. You can have this pile of logs for only $600. All you have to do is haul it, cut it, split it, stack it, and wait for it to season!

(I wouldn't even call them "logs". Looks like whole trees that were just felled and pushed into a pile)

Firewood logs - $600 (Shafer)


Mixed firewood logs for sale. $600 or best offer.

This will definitely fall into the "or best offer" category.

Fire Wood Free (Eva, AL.)

I need some one that needs fire wood to cut on halves. I have the trees ,you cut the tree and split the wood and you get half free. About 3 miles south of Eva, AL. Email me or call, no text. Thank You.


This may work in some areas. Around here, this is ridiculous. No one would give away half (really more) of their work. Too many totally free trees to be had.

I actually took a lady up on this offer once, but it was good firewood and I could pull my trailer right up next to it. 5 decent sized trees (2 hickory, 2 maple and one oak) had been cut out of a powerline easement. All were between 12 and 16" diameter at the base. She had already limbed them all with her little electric chain saw. Deal was I cut the trunks and leave every other piece on the ground for her to collect later. Not a bad deal for a trailer full of wood.

Yea not bad for you but if you had to buck it and split it and then give her half...not a good deal.

Yeah....splitting for her would have been a deal breaker. Honestly, if I had to limb all of that, it might have been a deal breaker.

If you are in need of wood to heat your home, and it is your only heat source, you will burn pine.

Also, please note it's in the "free" section.

HURRY! Get yo free timber!

Free Branches and Timber (Somerville/Morgan City)
I have two big piles of branches and light timber that you can have for free. It's in two neat piles right by the side of the road for easy and quick pick-up. This would make good kindling for a burn pile (some is even good for fireplace) or could be thrown through a wood chipper for some great fresh mulch. If you want to come get it, let me know and I'll give the address - can be picked up anytime. Thanks for your interest.

We have been cutting down a tree slowly...so we have quite a bit of tree branch cuttings. About 6-8 feet long. Great for back yard fire pit or something.

Also have evergreen tree branch cuttings.

Hoping someone will remove for us. We do not have a truck to haulaway. Will help load. All is free and short trip from location to street parking.

Please text 775-453-5170 if you are interested. Serious inquiries in any of it only please.

Wow.....I think some of that would be as bad or worse than green wood.

Some people just don't know rotten doesn't equal seasoned.

On a similar note:

Free Oak Wood Trees Firewood (Elk River)

I have some live oak trees that I would like removed. These trees are healthy with no animal holes. Some are very easy access and some are close to garage/house. Free if you take down and haul away. Must take the brush as well. Must be experienced, licensed and insured.


So, you want a professional tree service to come out, take down your trees, and haul everything including the brush away, all for free? Sorry, I don't think it works that way.

Live Hickory and Oak Trees for sale (whole tree) (Liberty twp)

(google map) (yahoo map)

I have two live trees on my mothers property, one is a hickory and the other is an Oak, not sure what type of oak.

Hickory ; Roughly 14 inches in diameter, a few feet up on trunk. Tree is incredibly straight and appears to be flawless. Very healthy. 75 feet tall? just a guess. See pictures

Oak: Either white or red Oak, not sure which. Also very straight and has a trunk circumference of almost EIGHT FEET !

Lots of board-feet in both of these trees and could be worth a ton on money for furniture, cabinets, etc. Both trees are both still live in ground. Buyer is responsible for harvesting trees and removing all lumber (some smaller branches can be drug into our woods but bigger ones need taken) Care must be taken to the yard as well, as we are going to be selling the property soon. We want to sell these trees before it goes up for sale. Call/text/email offers for one or both. Package deal will be done for both. I know these trees can be worth a lot of money once they are milled down. I understand that a lot of work is required to getting them into that state so I don't expect supplier prices for them. Offer must be reasonable though. This ad will be deleted once trees are cut and sold. Hurry on this offer before they start to bloom this spring!
