This is right across the street from me. Tree guy said he would cut it to 18" and bring up driveway. Should I accept? He said it was oak....isn't it maple?
Free wood...take it?

Hi Freddy,
I'm not sure what it is - others have much better ID skills/knowledge and I'm sure will know. The bark does kinda look like maple though.
But... why do you have any hesitation about taking it? If he's bucking and dropping it in your drive, seems like a no-brainer to me - I'd say get it!

Looks like red oak to me. Cut for you, across the street. Go get it!
You are all right. I just feel so disorganized this being my first year. I got stacks of wood all over and need to come up with a plan, but that is for another post. Guess free and delivered sounds great!
Thanks for the instant responses.
Wish I could mill some lumber out of it. They are taking down 3 VERY large trees.

Hmmm . . . is this one of those brain teasers . . . guy is willing to buck the wood to length, bring it up your driveway to you and do this for free and you are wondering if you should take it? Grab it and buy that guy a few cool beverages.

OK . Let me make sure I have this right :
Oak; Cut & delivered free & you want to know if you should take it all, right?
I rarely say this but, DUH? LOL
Tell him split & stacked or no deal. LOL
I know (hope) you were teasing us
My problem is; why are you letting him have all the fun ?
Good excuse to buy a new Hysq 562XP

Take it, take it, take it. Make friends with him, cold beverage worked for my tree guys. In fact they dropped a pickup load of oak the other day without telling me. I was looking out the window later that day and thought to my self, didn' t I have most of that ash split. Did realize the present they had left.

Freddy, Those are some great BTU's! Cut and delivered to your driveway is half the battle. If your not sure and not too far I'll come and get it. Tell the tree guy 22" for me please
