I own a small landscape co. In addition to my full time job. Work in law enforcement and permanent 3-11. So in the summer I mow in the winter I hunt anything with feathers with my labs. Well one of my clients asked if I wanted some logs to save them
Some money so the tree guy didn't charge the have them hauled away . She showed me the trees she wanted out & I said leave everything . 3 black locust, one maple, one sycamore.

Sycamore could be ready by fall. I give ALL softwoods ,soft maple, poplar, walnut , pine and so on 2 years. Good snag on wood
 
Nice score. From what I've read sycamore is similar to American elm as far as burning/seasoning.
 
That's a nice haul Chris! And the nice thing is you can work on it at your own pace....great score!

Sycamore burns nice, a little fast but I like it.
 
The soft stuff will mix good with that BL. Good score my friend!
 
Free is a good price! I scan Craigslist often looking for such scores. Outstanding find.
 
That sounds like the perfect score:

1. Trees already down
2. Decent wood
3. Easy access
4. Land owner's permission
