On an otherwise dreary drizzly day with no rainbow I did find a pot of gold.The first 3 pics are the load I hauled home today. I am going to have to get a loader to get the 10’ - 12’ ones. All hedge, the Beagle wasn’t scrounged just wiped out.

Very few of my neighbours burn wood, guess who has a big chain saw to clean up their windfalls....

Found this in the landscapers drop pile last week...they said I could have it. Don't even know what it is... it's almost banana yellow inside.


Then yesterday neighbour sold his house and needed a place to store his Harley 'til he took possession of the new place. Traded for a cord of 2yr doug-fir.

Looks like Mulberry, assuming you have that on your island. Splits really easy.

Mmmm...don't think so, the pile of branches looked like cedar- maybe something decorative from someone's yard. Does split like glass though.

Black Locust.

All one needs to do is call local tree experts. That's how I get mine. They let me know when there's a job in the area and I come by with the trailer. They even load it for me lol

They charge to remove the trees once they cut. If they can't find a taker, they have to haul it to the landfill and pay to dump it. It behooves them to give it for free.

This....I am on a distribution list via text for local areas. They often have stuff to deliver and stuff to pick up, logs and rounds. Just know that not everything is as clean as you would want. I recently had a post where a bunch of rounds were delivered and dumped on my yard. Not exactly what I was expecting, but it was free, I can work on it at my leisure, and it will burn!

Currently there is a lot of cedar, I scrounged a truckload to mix in but declined a dump truck load on Monday until I can get through the above

Black Locust.

Thanks, I thing you're right!

Call this my “onramp wood” since I got it from a gravel pull-off on a nearby interstate onramp. Got two loads, pics are what is split so far, still 7-8 more big pieces waiting for a splitter to be brought out. Not bad for an evening’s scrounge.

 

[yinpin]

Got a load oak, nice sized rounds today

Well done!

Found another small load today. The nice old lady said it was a big ash tree. Had to leave about 10 large rounds as I was by myself.

May want to get those poison ivy vines off there.

 

[Modenacart]

I got a load of pecan from a tree that was almost 100 years old. Some splits easy and some is just plain terrible.

Thinking she got her trees mixed up. Stuff was splitting like Cottonwood, or from what I read.

I would be inclined to agree with the Ash. Probably Green Ash. It has started to decompose ever so slightly maybe given it an off color sort of. The grain is looks like Ash to me along with the bark. Cottonwood is not that common in Maryland but does exist. Some people confuse it with Poplar sometimes. Except Poplar always has the greenish center to it when cut. Anyways my two cents. Kevin

 

[JimBear]

My final haul from my earlier post about a hedge post find. Still a bit of torch & hammer/punch work to remove some hinges & various bolts on 5 large posts in the first photo but nothing to major. Thought I would lay them out for a rain shower to rinse off some dirt, supposed to get a couple inches of snow tomorrow so I guess that will help also.

Ooh... yum yum! You do know that certain parts of a tree are edible don’t you? Lol.

 

[yinpin]

What did I find? Two different trees but a lot more of the bigger stuff. Locust?

Edit* went back and got a second load. Tree service came by and said Locust. He also said there is a ton of Ash they just cut on the road up. Took a look and he was not kidding. I counted 10 trees cut for power lines. Laying a log people’s yards so I think I should knock and ask

Rough bark is Black Locust. The other Ash maybe.

 

[WiscWoody]

The other stuff is white ash. Do you have EAB in Maryland?
