Brought home a load today, red and white oak. Really need to get my trailer back then I can get bigger loads. Will need to start splitting before too long. Have about 4 cord waiting to be split right now.
Could be, I know the majority of the load was red oak, then one 14' white oak log. The pieces on top could be chestnut oak. That was another pole I cut from the top of a pile of red oak. It had a shaggy bark but looked like a type of oak. I am not familiar with chestnut oak.
I saw bit of the attached leaves looked like chestnut, a couple of the top pieces are white oak. All the same relative BTU's -nice load
Still lots of it there, hoping to get the trailer back this week and I can go get a few loads of poles for the G2G.
Here is the pile I was cutting from today. About 5 times that behind it yet. Place has been picked pretty hard in the last week though. Three dump truck and a few trailer loads out of there today. Scavengers have arrived!
Ya know, with all the northern ohio members on here, you could probably put out a call out for a Saturday firewood rescue day and have a bunch of firewood hauling vehicles show up for the cause. Just to make sure all that precious wood was going to a proper home where it would be CSS for a minimum of 3 years!!
Been trying to get Dex out here, he needs the wood and would out it to the proper 3 yr plan. Timing just hasn't worked out yet.
I'm probably not too far away - live just outside of Mansfield. Get a few folks interested and I could probably put in a half day on Saturday or Sunday! Of course, haven't cleared this with the boss.
Nice load of BTUs there Got chains for the trailer ? Get it while the getting is good. Work at a good safe pace
I'll be out there Saturday for sure, hoping to make it most of the day. Welcome to come up if you want. I just need to. Are sure I'll have my trailer back. Shop told me I would have it back this past Monday.
Love cutting in this weather, usually end up in just a sweatshirt. Working and moving gets the blood flowing and I end up getting hot with my coat on.
Thanks for the offer swags - i have a 16x7 dual 3500lb axle trailer. Can't haul a ton of weight but between that and my 8' bed, i could snag a fair amount of wood! Of course, it now looks like I'm going to be working Saturday morning. I'll know for certain tomorrow - if I'm coming i'll let you know so I can get directions.
Sunday is open for me. Gotta work 3-11 Sat. Have not worked that shift in 5 yrs, but a buddy needs that day off for his Sons 1st B-day. So I stepped up and I will work his shift. I went from a good solid 3 year plan, to a 2 year plan. Which 2 yr old ash is still good. The entire reason was leg and back pain. Last Dec 27th (almost 14 months ago) my leg started to hurt. It has not stopped since. So instead of cutting last Spring? I procrastinated. Finally got a log load, but still gave away wood this year So my supply has depleted a little . Goes to show that staying ahead is a good thing. I lost a year because of an ailment, but not to far behind. Gonna try and get another log load as soon as I can get this wood split (80% split) and stacked. But until then, I could stand to cut some more. As for Sciatica. Some days are good, and some days are bad. The bad days are really bad...
