Some free split red oak

[Rob711]

I live next to a preserve. I heard someone whacking away on rounds that another neighbor rolled into the woods from a tree that fell. He’s not a burner and kinda strange, anyway. I’ve seen these logs and figures maybe I’ll roll into my yard after I get through the logs waiting for me to split are done.
This guy explains he’s part of a mountain bike club and has ridden and walked by these for a while. His legs have been bothering him. So instead of riding he came to split the logs because he enjoys it.
He sees the 6+ cords I have on pallets and asks if I sell firewood. I tell him no. Just heat my house with it. He says well I’m just going to pile this up and leave it if anyone wants it. I just enjoy splitting it!
Holy hell, this guy is splitting 36” rounds and leaving it for anyone! so. I’m anyone! It was a big tree. So rounds were cut small so they could be managed so almost all are shorties. I’m not complaining

Did you give him a bottle of wine for the effort?

Most Americans would rather have a case of light beer

I know. That's why I suggested wine, it has flavor.

He's not stacking, WTH?

I offered to have him drive into my yard to take them! “No I have plenty of firewood”was his reply! Really mellow guy, but I was sorta panicked in coming up with ways for him to take them. He said “I enjoy splitting it” maybe 3 times, last one was a little loud.
I was suppose take kids away so wife could figure out what Santa has brung us all. Imagine her excitement when instead I took my 8yr old daughter into the woods with my truck. “Honey it’s not every day you get less than half cord of split red oak waiting to be taken!”
