Pour Some Sugar Maple on me! This Score Rocks!

On the way back from Massachusetts Wednesday evening with my truck full of pallets (my first score that day), i get off the highway and am en route to my friends to deliver his antique table. Just before his house i spot a nice mound of fresh cut sugar maple. Decent amount, nice straight pieces and i can cut my lengths. Rather than drive by i decide to be more proactive in my hoarding efforts. I pull in and knock on the door and lady says take it all. (now this was my second score coming home that night) Phones her husband to confirm. Some wood was on neighbors yard too. "Go ahead and cut and use his driveway to load." Didnt have time yesterday to go but did drive by and the tree service (not Asplundh) for the town was prepping to fell another tree two houses down (sugar maple too). Went today and bucked and took it all. Tree guys mustve got rained out soon after as other tree was still up.
Two hours cutting and loading. Went home, unloaded, had a quick bite to eat and went back for the rest. I guessed one heaping load but was wrong...in a good way!
First three pics before i started.
Logs all bucked up. 460 and 261 tag teamed the score. Mostly 460. First time both of my "pro" saws have worked together. 290 was left home.
Decent size.
My old hometown has a tree warden. I found out he is just the director of the DPW there.
Nice heaping load. Green and clean. Only one section of log had some ant issues. Rest was fine.
Logs i couldnt take on first load.
Nuggets and cookies. Not too bad for a "roadkill" score. Usually a lot more.
Second load. Maybe a full cord for the score.
While taking a break i noticed one of the other trees slowly engulfing this old cedar fence post. The houses are about 35 years old and it used to be an open field. Trees grew on the fence line.

 

I will add some sugar pics tomorrow

 

Well, can't beat that with a stick....of Sugar Maple.
Very nice score that should make you nice and warm in a couple years or so.

 

Way to go Brad. The man is on the move.
You didn’t wrestle that old growth cedar out of that trees grip and bring it home?

 

nope. Didnt even try. Wonder if it is loose or not. I think the growing tree is slowly pushing it over. Thought it was cool.
This was the score i mentioned in my pallet thread from Wednesday.

 

Hmmm.. you've removed all wood from ct, and now you're working on neighboring states?

 

Gotta get my fix somewhere! Pallets came from Grafton, MA. Posted thread about it the other morning.
Did you need any pallets MikeInMa i can give you the address? Dont know if that was too far for you to travel or not.

 

Lol! The man is a wood vacuum! Stay out of NH, Brad!

 

The pallets were my only out of state score. Found this on the way home from there.
Are you still pulling wood out of WeldrDave s place?

 

Let me know buZZsaw Brad when you're stacks reach the Ohio state line then I'll know when to put my hoarding into high gear
Sorry I take that back Pa state line. Nice score for sure

 

i wonder what the record is for longest wood pile? We'll hafta contact the Guinness book on that one!

 

Oh ya nice score, im leaving for the quarry soon but im in the middle of coloring rt now.

Oh no he was just minutes from the quarry the other day while i was at work.

 

I might be able to show you in like a month or two

 

Haven't been out there much in September, but I'm going out there today. In August I got most of the stuff that wasn't buried in brush. He's coming back Oct. 17-20 to cut some more, so I'll be out there more after that.

 

Google says this one...I think we all have a ways to go to compete...

 

Yeah I think so...this article says its 1 million cubic meters...that's 275,859 cords by my calculations!
