free wood

[fishki]

Think I made out pretty good, got paid to take out some trees and clean up some brush...
ended up with elm, hedge, and sugarberry/hackberry.

The pallets stack is 20' long and around 4.5' high, other rows are 16' long and...crap I don't know how high.

Yeah, I mean, I guess that would be OK.

Crap, that just means you're done with wood prospecting for a while [emoji2]

Nice score and you are 2 years ahead now! ! !

 

[Wickets]

How long did it take you to recover from doing all that work??

 

[Jason763]

Jealous

Really nice looking and beautiful stack job !

Yep, nice being ahead now for following winters, I started out hand splitting that wood, quickly realized I'm getting to damn old so I went and bought a splitter. Being a first time wood burner, I have now also unfortunately learned..... I have nothing to burn!! My supply that I bought is about gone!
So its scrounge day for me, I do know of a stack of old hedge posts so I'm getting those and cutting them up today, all up off the ground on some 4x4's. Probably have better luck scrounging since no one seems to know the meaning "Seasoned Wood" around here.

I don't know about where u r, but we have tons of cherry here. There are always dead or dying ones that can be burn ready when cut. I just hauled a half cord of some home and it's between 15-18%. Ash too.

Just noticed my location was very vague, fixed it now. I'm sitting in SE Kansas, we have quite a variety if you can get in and cut it, but mostly oak, hackberry, hedge, pecan, walnut and hickory if you can find it to cut.

That's in the top ten of neat stacks, love seeing the hedge line in the pile also. Looks great!!

Wow great stacks!! Are you free to advise on a custom log store build, you have serious wood skills

What is the very light, almost white wood at the end of the stack in pic 1? Not familiar with anything that white.

I believe that is sugarberry, southern cousin to hackberry, the only identifiable difference being the bark and leaves.

And....... that is my first time stacking wood

sweet score you got there. I got about a cord of free oak a few weeks ago and I already have about a half cord thats been seasoning for 2 years, some of the best wood I have burned
