I suppose i could just post a little sign saying "buZZsaw was here"! Believe it or not i dont take all the roadkill i see. There is 3-4 spots close by that i could work that have decent wood. I want to work one, but need frozen ground as its a huge long red oak trunk on a small hill. Another is sugar maple, but gnarly, knotty yard tree. The last few have been too easy to pass up. Ive said this before...four years ago there was a fleet of Asplundh trucks cutting in all the nearby neighborhoods practically in every yard by the wires. I couldnt get a load of wood to save my life. Seems like nobody wants the wood this time. Although this time their cutting is sporadic. I tried to get in touch with my Asplundh contact from one of the crews the other day, but never heard back.
not sure if you realized it or not but that is a leafblower. Box store special, but still very pleased with it!
A lot of people, especially those paying top dollar for firewood, don't want round wood. In a way I don't blame them, it often rots in an uncovered pile, with birch being the worst. SOme can be punky and stays heavy and wet. I don't cut up branches like I used to.
That stuff makes great fires. I love burning rounds in the cold weather. Lasts longer. Got the same problem here though with tree services. They've got 12" or bigger chippers, so only big stuff from them.
