Mixed Bag

[Firefighter938]

I had some friends cleaning fence rows and burning the trees in large piles so I went and salvaged a cord.


Walnut, Cherry, hackberry, and a sprinkling of Mulberry on top.

I also gave another cord of cherry to a friend who smokes BBQ.

A pretty good day to run saws and the easiest cutting I've done. They pushed the trees over with heavy equipment and would hold it up while I cut off the root balls and tops. Then they held the logs over my trailer as I bucked it to size.

I like the part that you and your friend got some free wood, good score.

The part about them "burning the trees in large piles" makes me want to cry.....so much good wood wasted.....

Oh I Know. They have farms and even burn wood, but can only burn so much and with miles and miles of fence to clean they just get what they need and burn the rest.

They had cherry and walnut trees piled up for me when I first got there and had been putting the mulberry on the pile burning it. I told them I would take it too and they thought I was crazy. Only got a little of it because they had burned most of it already.

I will probably go meet them again this winter and try to salvage another cord or two, but I am getting a lot of rounds that I need to get split.

I agree, salvage what you can, you have your rounds stacked nicely, they will be okay.

They are the crazy ones for wasting the mulberry I'd say

Started splitting. Got all the hackberry split and most of the cherry. My estimating is starting to get better. I thought I had about a cord and will have that plus a face cord when I'm finished.
