Pipeline Score

[fireview2788]

I posted a few weeks back about the petroleum company clearing over their pipelines so they can do flyover checks. Well they started cutting this week and finished yesterday but cutting three trees that by the road that were part of the deal. Well, that was bad for me because someone else saw the wood and has now talked to the owner. I don't know how much I'm going to get after all but I did get the the ash from up front. All the wood left is ash with the exception of one,which I'm not sure what it is.

Here's what I came home to last night:

Here's the black walnut that I c/s last year, my buddy is protecting this:

that walnut would take all of 10 minutes to bust up.

nice scrounge.

No doubt. Easiest wood I have ever split.

It's not a matter of splitting it's a matter of getting it from there to here. It's in my buddy's woods and he is very particular about how you get back to it. I have to wait until he and I are available at the same time (he works days I work 3-11) and getting it done. With this new pressure it might just be with this ash by Saturday night.

Some really nice wood there even if you didn't get all of it. Nice size too as you get many splits from one log.

Nice score
Gonna make some fine looking spits

It's official, I lost all except my walnut. The wife got involved and that was it. The husband feels really bad about the whole deal so I know he'll make it right. It wasn't mine to begin with so I'm not complaining.

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you are the bug.

 

[fireview2788]

True, very true.

Nice score on some good BTU's. Now get that stuff split NOW, fireview!

 

[TimJ]

It's tooo hot Scotty...........he'll have to wait until it cools down a bit

 

[Senatormofo]

I agree. It's sooo much better splitting in the cooler temps! I hate being drenched in sweat busting a few rounds on the heat and humidity. I do like the exercise though!

 

[Realstone]

One thing that occurs to me as I view your pics: when others cut rounds for us, they are various lengths (and various angles ) . When we cut our own, they are consistent and true.

 

[Wood Duck]

Keep an eye on that pipeline. I bet right now the pipeline company is cutting more trees somewhere down the line.

 

[fireview2788]

They're actually fairly consistent in length. Now that vacation is over and the weather is getting cooler I'll be getting this stuff and the hickory split too!

Gotta love pipeline / powerline access! Helped me go from nothing to almost 7 cords in 8 months, plus 2 cords for a neighbor.
