More to cut than I will ever need

[tigeroak]

Had a farmer stop by and asked if I needed wood and said ok so he took me out and said I will be the only one cutting no one else wanted to do it. When I go back to cut I will take picture of the hickory tree it is LARGE. I have cut 6 loads of just limbs with about 2-3 more to go in just limbs. My trailer is just under 4 foot wide but 8 foot long. So I figure With a little rounded I will have 1/3 on each load. Another plus it is only about 5 min. from the house. I had to quit cutting now as they deer hunt there and that was in the agreement not to cut during deer season. This what I have cut in the last 2 weekends, 2 loads of poplar, 1 load of hard maple, 2 loads of hedge and 6 loads of hickory. See pictures, 1-is hedge to finish that rack, 2- is 2 rows of hickory about 10 foot long that is ready to go in a rack[ all full], 3- is the rest of the pile of hickory to the split hedge, 4- is a closer look at the first of the row and 5- is from the other end. There are 2 rows there about 28 feet long.

I'm jealous. I have to spend a lot more effort to find my free wood. But FWAS (Free Wood Acquisition Syndrome) is just as bad as all the other derangements we wood heaters suffer. Just today I scored a cord of free wood that I guess will be my three years out supply. Rationalized it as a need to break in my new saw.

Get it cheap and stack it deep!

It's like when a beaver hears running water, he has to build a dam. When a Firewood addict sees free wood he has to scrounge.

That's a lot of wood, but "ever" ?

Doesn't get much better than that! That hedge apple burns HOT. I like to use it for my overnight burns because it pops like crazy when you open the stove door.
