FREE firewood (Old Forge)

Yellow Birch and Maple logs cut to stove length, 18-22", summer 2011, covered since, well seasoned.
Need to be split. Deal is - I get 25% of what you split until my woodshed is full, measures 10' long x 3' high, rest is all yours. Other down hardwood may be available-cherry,beech, maple. Negotiable, lets talk via e-mail.

My first post here on the forums (been a lurker). What a first post Hi from Central NY!

As long as that person was local, and the wood was free I might take them up on that deal.

I was thinking that didn't sound like a half bad deal as well . . . then again I also have a hydraulic splitter.

Tree surgeons are lining up for this one....

Just what I always wanted...all the Bald Faced Hornet honey I can handle...

Oh yeah, sign me up for that one please.

"No problem sir . . . I take out beehives like this all the time . . . now just stand back while I load my 12 gauge."

...and after all that....the respondent learns that bald faced hornets don't even make honey

Kijiji is Canada's CL.
This is the first time I've seen a cord listed at $350 or $120 a face. Makes my $1000 load of logs (8+cord) look like a smokin' deal.
This guy is probably 15-20 minutes north of me. I don't understand why we pay so much for firewood.

Healthy walnut tree - location in yard is not great though, so we want it gone.

You have the tree cut down and it is yours.


This was in the free section. lmao

CL is in Canada but not as popular as Kijiji

This seems fair. Come on over and give me your motorcycle and I'll let you cut up this tree in the middle of my yard and keep it for firewood. Since it's oak, I'll be riding that bike for three years before you even toss a split into the stove.

I'm embarrassed for them as a regional neighbor...

Standing trees for firewood or lumber (15 min. west of Hood Canal Bridge)

Along my driveway I have about ten standing trees, mostly large alders, that I would like removed. Most are very easy access and straightforward drops. I am offering the trees for free to any firewood or logging company that can assure me that they are qualified to safely cut them, have the equipment to haul them away and will leave me with only a few tidy burn piles. I am only interested in dealing with a professionally run crew with the proper equipment that can get it done in a couple of days. This job is too big for one guy with a chain saw and pickup truck. Hoping to create a win/win. You get free wood to sell and I get a cleaned up property. Contact me if interested.

So, a friend of mine just posted this on Facebook about 3 minutes ago ...

I have 4 trees in front of my fathers house need cut down. Makes good fire wood if anyone is interested in them please PM

Attention firewood dealers

Finally we might be able to be paid for the hard work of being int he business of selling firewood. Do you realize it is being sold for $85 per face cord as close as Montello WI? And it is $75 per face cord when you pick it up and load it yourself at several locations? Don't undercut yourself when you advertise.if you are selling firewood ask for what it is worth..........$65 to $75 per face cord in central WI.

In another words: we are selling our wet stuff too cheap!

This one seemed reasonable until I scrolled down to the part where they want money for it.
