can anyone use a bunch of pine?

[Stevebass4]

a friend of a friend came today and took down a huge (and i mean huge) pine tree in my yard

not too sure if anyone can use this wood BUT i have tons of it already on the ground - you can leave the brush

location is norfolk ma

other than folks taking it - how else could i get rid of this thing

Post it on Craigslist - free firewood. Good luck

Got any pictures of this tree???

I would say "rent a good sized chipper" stuff everything you can through the chipper and then find a 'local sawyer' that does rough cut lumber...I'm sure you can find one close by. A lot of theese guys "take donations".

Don't wait too long though, this time of year a pine log "gets worms" fast...before not to long it will be junk...if it isn't already.

Steve Gregg staHl has a timber to lumber machine you want a wood shed well use the pine for boards. save money get some of the materials and get rid if your problem

He even has equipment to pick it up of sell him the pine give it to him do what ever you want do not cut it up to rounds yet it is way mor valuable in log length

In addition to / instead of Craigs List, you can also try listing it on "Freecycle" - you can't charge for something on that list, but if you are just after getting it out of your yard, it may work faster than Craig's List.

However I would second Elk's comment that it might be worth more as boards, and you should check with any local sawmill type folks to see if they are interested.
