Loaded truck pics.

Read the PM i sent you!

 

I posted an ad on CL back in October as i had around five cords of the darn things. I get a hit in three days and have had 7-8 sales from it. One guy wanted full length splits and i was able to accomodate.

I priced them $5 less than a half cord of regular 16" splits to move them thinking they wont sell as last year i seemingly couldnt give them away.

I used to have regulars for them but they now want full length splits. Ive almost refilled a one cord bin with fresh nuggets and have 2.5 cords on hand plus some shorts to process yet. One is BL for a regular who should be calling anytime now for his delivery. Now worried about having enough for next year!
The trials and tribulations of a wood seller!

 

Got it.

 

Some lodgepole that the sawmill didn’t want because of spiral cracks

 

I'm a Ford guy but that's a pretty good looking truck.

 

I thought the same thing.

Chevy guy here but that has nothing to do with it , just a good looking truck regardless of what badge it is wearing.

Today’s score, elm.
Lots more where this came from.

 

You split any yet?
You might be in for a surprise.

 

Good looking load. Elm is one of those woods that garner lots of comments. Mainly about the difficulty to split.

 

Pass that bucket. Lol.

 

See, told you so. I think when split and seasoned, it does throw good BTU's though.

NortheastAl - "Three kinds of wood I hate are Elm, Elm and Elm. And in that order!"
Sawdog - "Elm just sucks to split . Period. No matter what the temperature is."
MAF143 - "I avoid Elm and I have hydraulics... like tearing through a fiberglass reinforced cotton ball using the whole stroke of the splitter... Slow going and aggravating."
savemoney - "I don't know anybody around here that will work up elm. Too hard to split. Usually ends up at the dump."
- "Elm is horrid. No one I know around here will bother with it at all.
buZZsaw BRAD - "you need dynamite to split green elm."
krag - "Only splitting job I ever refused was a pile of elm that my Supersplit was no good on, like kryptonite for it."
Mag Craft - "One other point. I hate splitting elm"

 

Not yet, it’ll wait till next Black Friday, along with whatever else I scrounge over the next year.

 

If it's a pain, just use the saw to cut rounds to size. Much less aggravating. From what I learned in this group, it can be regional and possibly connected to mineral content in the ground.

1/4 cord of mulberry delivered yesterday. Stacked it in his garage. I sell it in small amounts as an ambiance wood.
