You can't ask for much more than that! Well, unless you can get someone else to haul brush and put the rounds in your truck/trailer... :cheese:

Those are my favorite finds! Lots of barkless wood, no brush to haul, and I get to let the 3120xp eat! :coolsmile:

Nice! I'll bet that's close to 3 cords in that log if it's a solid 45" around from end to end.
 
I hope there are some pics when this monster is all cut up :)

ha ha ha some jack@ss brought this tree down and I knock on the door about a month ago he said that there friends was wood burner and was cutting it for that. I said when they get to that trunk and if they cant handle it I live around the corner where all the big piles of wood is at, last night he showed up and the rest is mine

Sweet, looks like close to two cords!

thats my best guess by the loads and the pile
 
That's a very nice chunk of oak! Looks like white oak, or maybe bur oak? Some heavy duty splitting in that one!
