    Yeah I'm lucky, the wood I get from the mill is usually out on the road for everyone to take, but there was a time when they let you onto the property so I was almost sure to get a full load every time, until they gave me the boot ! :( IMG_6263.JPG

    Some nice loads guys.

    No loads for me lately, but tons to get processed so trying to not look around for it. Need to finish an elm at my dad's ranch next time I go up so will get a small load there. All that's left is the trunk.

    For most people a dump truck would be terribly impractical as a daily driver, but in the case of buZZsaw BRAD it may just be the way to go. You put us all to shame buddy!

    So I picked up part of a branch of hard maple. What was left was sticks or rotten/punky stuff. It’s good to have an arborist friend that lets you know when he has good firewood to pickup. The best part of this load was all the stuff under 8” was cut to length and in a pile 91591D97-ECC6-4727-91DE-76888DA00559.jpeg

    Thanks for the kind words! If i was constantly cutting loads like that and had a big place to drop it i would consider a dump truck.

    truck12.jpg 26.JPG Another decent load from the mill, what I like about this stuff is being somewhat dimensional it stacks tight so I end up with about 1000lbs of wood. another one of my wood racks is full up, it measure about 4 and a half feet wide by 9' long and over 8' high, so about 2 cords worth, can't complain about the price ! :thumbs:

    Yup I have a full time job, I didn’t want to buy lumber to sit out until I get time to work on it. There is a HD less than a mile from where I work I’ll get stuff as I need it.

    Little white oak that's been standing dead for a couple years, it got taken out by a brush fire that got out of hand. Sapwood is all punky but heartwood is great like usual. 20200705_145944.jpg
