My back hurts-nice find today

[pcc2826]

Many around town know me as the guy that will take any wood. Got a call today from a friend of a friend who told me he had this Oak lying in his back yard for some time. Wood is still very green and it will be awhile before this is ready to burn, but free is free right?

The rounds were pretty big and there is still a lot more wood for me to go back for.

Wow! Nice looking stuff there. Can you get a hydraulic splitter there on the property? Make life a lot easier. Save your back too.

Yes, here was my setup. Did not bother taking my trailer since it's so close. The rounds themselves were just so big and heavy after an afternoon just rolling them to the splitter and moving them around got to me.

3 years from now you won't remember the pain, you will only enjoy the burn.

I am the same as you. I have the saws with the long bars so people call me for the logs the others can't get. I like the big rounds - that's where the wood is.

That tree looks really straight. Have you looked into its value as milled lumber?
