Answered a craigslist ad from a guy who didn't have enough saw to buck this silver maple trunk. Easy $100, for two hours of work, including twenty minutes of travel each way.
Haven't seen a maple of this size this solid before. It was causing problems with his drainfield. He had somebody piece it down, but neither of them had a bar big enough to buck the trunk. He said I was welcome to the wood, but when I sank a wedge in it, water oozed out and it didn't even crack. I don't need it that bad, especially soft maple, so I took my hundred bucks and went home. Down payment on a Timberline.View attachment 70152 View attachment 70153
