    Looks good, not much solid ash around here. I still have a fair amount in my stacks, always a favorite.

    Some good looking logs and splits. Great to have the help and have it dropped off. How often does he bring you "presents"?

    That’s a great pile :yes:. Won’t be long that ash is a thing of the past, unfortunately.

    Sweet load and hard to beat ash. I've had a few loads dumped here, but been years since the last one. Only dump space is driveway and I don't want the entire thing blocked. We've also had loads dumped out at Bunny's (Lefty's) but not since he passed. It can sure spoil a person that's for sure.

    Nice ash, those big ones are getting fewer and far between round these parts anymore. Has always been one of my favorite woods to cut, process and burn. Such a shame what has happened to that species.

    Keeping it organized can get tricky real fast. Seems like a constant battle for me. Kinda envious of you guys that can take loads like that. I just dont have the room.

    I've been burning some ash this year. I've got about 2 cords of it. I've never had enough to notice how it burns. It's real nice which is good to know because I've got 4 ash trees that are EOL. I'll look forward to refilling racks with it.
