This should keep me busy

[infinitymike]

This is the same guy I stopped on the road 2 years ago.
I saw him with a full load on Friday and stopped him again.
He said he couldn't drop that load but would come by today with one.

 

[CTFIRE]

Nice

 

[gregbesia]

Holy smokes! What a score. I guess I made a mistake of moving from Long Island to CT. Good for you, just do me a favor and stop posting this pictures. . Just kidding.

Looks like you have yourself a bumper crop of Norway maple there.

 

[infinitymike]

Oak, Maple and a few pieces of sycamore

Thats one heck of a truck that guy's got. He must do a good business.
You found yourself a good buddy there!!
That sure looks like a Pot Of Gold sittin there...

A pot of 9+ cords of gold.

I'd be sending him Christmas cards and a bottle Scottish Whiskey. Fancy like.

Christmas Cards...sure
Whiskey....I don't think so.

I gave the driver $20

Truth is, I saved that owner a few hundred in dump fees.
And the driver made a 20 spot while still on the clock.

Nice haul. Maybe you can get the guy (and the saw) that cut the root flare of that big maple . Nice clean single cut it looks to be. That's gonna be fun to horse around.

I actually had him take one piece back.
It was just stupid.
It was a piece twice the size and must have been where the tree divided into 6 more trunks

Honestly, I know it was free and all, but there are a lot of lengths that are just an odd dimension.
My ultimate round is 24" long.
My Wood Gun takes 24's real nice as does the splitter and my wood storage racks
But there are pieces that just won't work right.
Either I will have a 6-8" cookie or I will have to buck them at 18-20"

I know beggars can't be choosey

But I wasn't beggin, I just took it sight un seen.

Thats the one thing I dislike about getting tree man chunks. Too many odd ends. Logs are better with only one odd piece per.

When getting one of my first log loads there s a log like that on the truck. I asked about it, and he said, "You don't want that. Get those other logs cut up and call me for more if you want more"

 

[infinitymike]

I almost had him take this back but he had his boom put away and was climbing off the seat.

It splits to two trunks on the other side but it relatively a straight grain piece.
It's just so big.

 

[Slow1]

Nice problem to have pieces you don't want

I had a trunk split once that was hollow and filled with ants - wish I'd sent that one back, there was so much dirt inside I couldn't get a clean cut. Too big for me to load to take to the transfer station as well. Finally got through it... in fact I think I may well be burning pieces of that one now, heh.

You got a Fiskar's don't cha?

 

[Beer Belly]

Love it !!.....good luck

 

[8686]

Where in long Island? hahahaha

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Nice Mike. It should all split nicely with perhaps the exception of that sycamore but not much of that so you should be fine.

 

[STIHLY DAN]

That's a GIANT you SUCK pic right there.

 

[ailanthus]

Wow! Thats a couple of years' worth, there!

 

[tsquini]

Looking good.

 

[bigbarf48]

Wow great score! That big branching piece isnt so bad, just cut it in half and get to noodlin

 

[infinitymike]

Wow! Thats a couple of years' worth, there!

Not really. About one years worth.
It's about 8-9 cord and that is what I have gone through this winter so far.
