Well... Seems of late, that all I can get my hands on is Silver Maple (Not complaining). There is a TON of this stuff around here. Buddy calls me up yesterday and says "Hey, wanna go get some wood?".. Absolutely I do. Left the house at 5:00 p.m...... 5 hrs of rolling 500 lb Rounds and I get home about 11:00 p.m.. Got up for work this morning at 4:15 a.m.... Ugh. Tired and Sore. 4 Guys to roll the Rounds up. Average was 40" across. Some bigger at the base. Many of the trunk piece's were really straight. Gonna split like a champ..
For those Naysayers of splitting vertical (I know Dennis (BackwoodSavage) has my back) try splitting BIG wood like this. Cant lift it... Any round about 24" in diameter and smaller can be lifted. Step up to 36" and larger and you will be laying them down too. Wish I would have took more pics. But it was back breaking work. Just wanted to get it done.
Last 2 pics are of my last load of Silver Maple.. Thought I would share.
