if you really need wood (as opposed to needing some time gofing off that could also yield wood) I'd either cann some tree services and ofer to take away wood (I have never done this) or contact nearby public lands. Here in PA you can cut firewood from state forests with a $15 permit, but I have never found info about this on the internet. I asked the people at the state forest office.
 
Don't need the wood...just looking for something to do
 
Your neighbors will be at work right? Bet they have trees.

steeltowninwv, what you got looks pretty good. Get the wood any way you can. If it is a trunkload at a time, so be it. The job can still get done. The bad part is if you need the wood for this year. That is not a good situation to be out looking for that now.
 
nah this is next years wood or maybe the year after

I see you have it secured with electric fence.
 
Where did you find it? If you found wood already bucked, you are a better scrounger than I am.

yeah that's a tough spot. I have been eating my heart out for 2 weeks with tons of beautiful wood laying by the side of the road after Irene -- the county is picking it up. I went around and threw stuff that I could lift into the truck, so I got an OK haul, but I wish I could somehow get those bigger pieces home, there was years and years worth of oak laying all over everywhere! Ugh. County has already picked up much of it. Somebody had a nice stack all bucked up, but the downed power line was strategically draped across it. Don't know whether that was on purpose but I assumed it was!!
 
i cut down a tiny maple and a this little whit oak at a guys house.........
