Yes and no. Yes for buying firewood. I did a chain saw job for him a few years ago. Their nephew's house is one of my storage areas for wood. He was over fixing his tractor and i asked if they still burn and he wanted to buy a cord. Elderly and cant make their own wood anymore. Todays load unloaded into his trailer. All maple, mostly sugar. He restored tractors too.
Bradford pear from Edwin (Wood Doctor on OPE). He didn't think it would all fit in my truck, but I showed him. Also said we could split 50/50 but I feel it was his tree so I will only take the shorts and uglies. Taking it out to Lefty's today and may cut it to length as I unload it.
Unloaded pickup but didn't cut to length. Had to finish splitting the JimBear hedge so I had a place to put Edwin's wood. Loaded truck with 2/3 of the remaining hedge so I can put it down for a long nap here at the house.
Grabbed a load of oak yesterday. I took a picture after loading but I guess it didn't take. Here is one after splitting a bunch off the truck. I had over a face cord on the trailer too.
I do it when I can because it saves a lot of extra work and time. When I'm hauling multiple loads home it just gets piled to be split later.
A coworker had some cherry trees that a utility crew cut down for power line clearance. Did I need it? No. Could I pass it up? Also no.
This is my first time getting cherry. It's supposed to be good stuff so it's a great addition to my stacks.
I cut 1 load Friday and 2 Saturday. This was 5 minutes from my parents house and my storage was almost full already, so I gave the 1st Saturday load to them.
I love woods that i seldom score. I get like a kid on Christmas. Honey locust, black walnut and mulberry will do that to me. Hope it lives up to your expectations..
