Bought some slab wood a few months back from a new guy in the area that recently started a small saw mill operation. I was courteous, cleaned up a section of his pile instead of just grabbing all the best pieces from all over the place, and didn't over load my trailer (paid by the load). Asked him if he ever gets any tops or crooked trunks I'd be interested and gave him my phone number. Got the call tonight, 10 to 15 cord of maple all cut to 16-18", easy access and close by for $60 a cord! The best part, he says "you're a straight shooter, when you get it all stacked and measured let me know how much it ends up being and we can settle up then." Pays to be friendly and ask questions, I'll be busy for the next couple weeks setting myself up for the next few seasons, and I don't even have to run my saw!
...very nice...glad to hear that...
