A couple guys at work brought me some fresh cut honey locust for my "ammo dump" on the back road at my work. That stuff is HEAVY and WET! I had to split a couple 24" rounds so I didn't bust a gut lifting it. I have about 5, 5' lengths to saw up and bring home.

My stash of oak was getting funky sitting on the ground, so I sawed that up and started the process of bringing that home in my trunk. About 20 more rounds of oak to go. Then, more ash, honey locust and some maple.

Slow going in a compact car!
 
listen Food, you got 2 fresh cut honey locust threads and not one stinkin pic. Whats up with that?
 
I know, I know. I tried to upload them from my phone. Too big, blah, blah. Sorry about the double post. Fat fingers.
 
A compact car is no excuse. I'm using a sedan with two car seats and manage just fine. You can fit a lot in the back seat and a 20" round makes the best passenger.
 
Yep, slow is right, but all we have to do is haul faster than we burn to stay ahead yeah? Using a Prius here & keeping the loads small. Could easily pack enough green wood in to total the suspension...
I can fit 10' 2x lumber in & still close the hatch. Hatchbacks rule for this truckless Sap.
 
Locust is the most bug resistant around my area and takes the longest to dry out if ever so i use it as a base when I stack my wood.
