I very rarely get any of this stuff. Drove by the local yard waste site yesterday and holy smokes, the whole lower trunk of a Silver Maple was there. No asking me twice - made short work of it with the Husky 262XP. Hand splits nice using the Isocore.
Wow! You made out like a bandit! Nice straight grained with not knots or gnarl. It does split nice doesnt it? Nice and heavy when green. Ill take it over oak any day. Is it a scarce tree in your area Gpsfool ?
As a tree it’s not scarce around here - in fact I have a big one in my front yard. I expect what is scarce around here is “free Sugar Maple”. I agree it’s real heavy stuff too!
