    Some property was sold across from my parents and Dad befriended the builder and he was looking to get rid of some wood from clearing the lot! Well gee I might know a guy.... Pick me! Pick me!
    IMG_2394.JPG The closer pile is about three 8' box with sides F250 loads and the far pile about 5 I'd say all straight from 3"- 16" diameter. Ash, cherry, maple, elm, hedge Apple, white oak, hop hornbeam, poplar and one pine tree. So new saw +woodpile next to a driveway = superior cord hordage!!! IMG_2395.JPG Load #1
    Cut anything under 8" into 4' poles and over 8" into rounds

    Yes, logs cut to rounds near a road are nacho firewood.


    You know they'll walk as soon as you leave.

    Yeah especially the smaller stuff nice 4' poles are easy handling and fast to get on the truck not to mention I've got a ton of splitting to do before I even look at this stuff

    I do the same with "sticks" as I call them when possible. I just need to make a sawbuck to process them quickly and no bending over while cutting them into pieces of farwood.

    Those poles or sticks sure to fill a trailer or truck load fast.

    Congratulations! Thanks for the pics and the story. That 372 is a heck of a saw and will last you many years.

    Nice saw I know you'll love it the more you use it!:saw::saw: And that is one good score on the wood that will keep you warm fro quite a while!:stacke::woodsign:. How many cords do you think that you got?

    The story was well worth the wait! Thanks for keeping us in suspense! :popcorn:
