    IMG_8163.jpeg IMG_8164.jpeg IMG_8166.jpeg So, I found this wood on FBook marketplace about 2 miles from my house. The lady said the town cut it down and she didn’t know when they were coming back to take it away, in case anyone wants it. I went and took some. Can anyone id it? (just the fresh cut rounds). Thanks.

    Looks like sugar maple. Rounds of it get heavy real fast! Nice grab!

    Is that the Echo you bought right after Joe's GTG?

    Thanks, Mike. Yeah, I might go back for more tomorrow. The lady messaged me today that guys came back today and cut down more trees. It’s close enough to my house, so I’ll do a drive by and assess the situation.

    Hey, Brad! Yeah, that’s my Echo CS590. You’ve got a good memory.

    I went back to get more wood from the same place I got it the other day, but as I'm about to leave my house, I see a tree service truck down the block, so I walked over to see what they had. The guy said, "Oh, you should've come sooner, we just shredded a whole hickory tree" But, they still had a couple of rounds left. (those are the 5 rounds to the right of the white 2x4s in the pic).
