Some red oak

[D8Chumley]

Been awhile, but time to get to gettin! Scored some 2021-22 wood on a job I’m on. Some of the sap wood is a little punky but heart is solid. Love gettin paid to cut free wood! We have to repair a slope slide that has the road below closed for several years, gonna be a sketchy one. Lots of big trees tangled up in this mess, my hoe operator and I both burn so it’s a nice little bonus. It would be criminal to toss all this in dumpsters

Also got some of this, Elm maybe? No bark and it was solid and kinda dry so I c/s/s yesterday and will burn it

Looking good !

Can't beat a little double dipping on the clock.

 

[D8Chumley]

It’s gotta go, and I said to the Superintendent I’m working for I’m not putting good red oak logs in a dumpster. Stumps and trash wood, yes. We would cut some off the clock also but having the hoe is a big time saver. While he is digging out the next log or benching into the slope I cut the ones we pull out to length. We stack them up, cut when time allows and load into our trucks at end of day. It’s just rough on chains even when I wire brush the cut sections

Yeah, I was going to say, dirt and little rocks are murder on the chain.

Well crap! I lost the stupid beer icon for this place....

Just an update, I will wind up with around 2.5 cord and my hoe operator figures he has 3+ Not too shabby, I have a little over 2 cord stacked so far

Sweet haul! I've got at least ten Red Oaks, down or standing dead, to get. They die off here more than any other specie.
