    Picked up a small load. I’m thinking it’s cherry but something isn’t sitting right w me. What’s your guess?

    It’s cherry alright. Wild or hybrid.
    Split and stack it.
    Nice score.
    :yes:

    Looks like it could be. You will know for sure when you cut it and it’s red inside

    Not sure exactly when I'll be bringing it down to the house, but within the next few weeks I'd imagine.

    The dead ash I dropped a few weeks ago landed on it and finished it.

    Went for a nice ride through the woods today, figure I've got hopefully about 2.5 cord of wood to salvage.
    :yes:

    I don't think I'll be able to do it as well as you, but I'll surely try.
    :yes:

    Guess I'm gonna have to run some vegetable oil through the saw, or bust out the sawzall
