Tempted to go get this just because of the oak title, even though I am a good 5 years ahead on wood. the poplar oak has me stumped lol https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/zip/5119488036.html Free Fire Wood in Back yard. Very easy to access from the street. The Wood is from a poplar Oak tree that was cut down 1 month ago. The wood has been cut into rounds that can be managed by Two People. Please no spliting or chain sawing at the backyard. Reply to this ad for the address.
I don't know what that is, but looks worth getting to me. Real straight and looks like it has a good heartwood.
That area has alot of oaks, I got a few loads around 5 or 6 years ago from around there. Think the general consensus at the time was that it was pin oak
Either those are some really short sections or that is very large diameter wood for the ones on top. Lots of different lengths from the looks of it. May be challenging to stack because of that.
I did not go after it , had too many things going on today but yeah, the last time i got oak from that area they were cut real short as well. I think the tree services do that on purpose around here with heavy hardwoods like oak for easy moving of the rounds. I know that sounds strange, but we do not have alot of real heavy hard woods around here, people are used to moving softwoods so the tree service cuts the heavier wood small here are some pics from around 6 years ago when I got some oak from the same area ( before I owned my flatbed)
Easier to move, probably short enough for EW loading in the stove. May do better on pallets or in a cage rather than stacks. I've got some elm I cut to 1 foot so I could (barely) split it. Ended up using some kidder panels I had sitting around to make a 5x10 foot cage, some scrap lumber to make a floor so air could circulate underneath and filled it up. It would have made for some tippy stacks if I tried to single row it.
that original post may be just poplar. There is another post on C/L that looks pretty much like the same type of tree / heartwood. emailed them and they said it was "Poplar, burns great, just need to get it split, so it can dry out" http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/zip/5116933069.html 36" rounds approx. 24" long, bring your wedge and splitter and load up, if you bring a friend you may be able to load some without splitting. Easy access to load. Please call show contact info to schedule a time! I.D.ing hardwoods is tough for me
The pin oaks here have that thick light layer around the big rounds, and the bark has minimal furrowing as opposed to the other varieties.. Also, it's the spitting image to what I got right here in front of me.
