Ash? With those big pieces my neighbour would be hauling them so they could be milled. We gave him a couple ash from our property and my daughter has a beautiful hope chest. The remainder was used on kitchen cabinets ...
 
It's maple but I'll take it. CSS 3 truck loads today. Went to another spot & just loaded some ash, cherry & oak. Headed home to process it. Productive day

That's great! They let you cut it there on site?
Yeah. Its less than a 1/4 mile from my house. I cut it, brought the splitter over, processed it and hauled back to my place. Can't leave it overnight...did that once and it was gone.

Man, you can't ask for much of a better set up than that!!!
 
Sweet score!! I check ours randomly, at least once a week. Problem is, so do some others...... early bird gets the worm, just sayin! Not sure if the houses nearby like a saw running at 7:30 am but haven't gotten any nasty looks yet. Its really hit or miss though.
 
Nice as they say one mans trash is another's treasure. Great score!
 
Great find!

Our city dump closes at 2:30 in the afternoon so it does nobody any good. Some people dumped dry wall and building supplies and ruined it for everyone.

Hope your luck holds out and you can keep going there.
