Maple Keels over next to woodstacks..

Came home the other night and see a big black object close to the edge of the driveway... As I drove closer, I see that a red maple decided to keel over right next to my driveway and it was the big rootball I was seeing.
Not a black bear after all.... That maple was a leaner and about 12" in diameter at the base, with this wet spring we have had and its lean, it just fell over.

I may try to cut it up Saturday, but it's suppose to rain... Maybe just shy of a 1/3 of a cord by my guess.

 

Will be easy to get the stump out then more fire

 

Nice when they fall for you! Looks like an easy get! Cheers!

 

Got it cut up yesterday.... Youngest daughter helped which was nice too...

 

It looked smaller in the 1st picture. That's a nice little addition to the wood pile.

 

I thought the same thing... Turns out it was a little bigger than I thought too. The wood stack was only the main trunk too, the top was in another pile.

 

It did look smaller in the first picture, that's a good bit of wood there, Mother Nature will provide.
