Facebook , free wood

cousin tagged me and our kid in a post on Facebook.
Takes s nosey and some geezer is offering a tree he's cut down for bonfire wood but must collect.
Bonfire my backside , even though iv no room me and our kid have been for it, pick rest up tomorow.

 

It's all BTUs
Bring it on home :stacke:

 

It's been rehomed where it will be well looked after

 

I see someones drinking imported beer

 

Our kid , I'm on imported whisky

 

Nicely done Grahamt good load & BTUs. You can always find room for a bit more.

 

Nice score
Maple?

 

I'm not sure I'll take some better pics in daylight of the bark

 

Yeah I was going to ask what species.

Nice work.

 

I love that Tennesee Honey. Buffalo Trace is a close second.

 

Knob Creek or Bookers bourbon for me, but that's a sweet J.D. collection you got there.

 

I'm told it's willow and it's rubbish for burning.
Beggars can't be choosers so I'm off back for another van full .
Shame one a big trunks has got wet through a knot but it will do for fire pit.

 

Another load

 

And at £ 13.50 each I treated myself

 

Some of those rounds you got might be splittable. Not that last load, though.

 

I were tidying up for him, had to run his granddaughter to hospital , least I could do was get rid of the notches ugliest sticks and so on

 

Do you have a mechanical splitter? I don't, and I couldn't split willow. But, I didn't have this:
It's a twisted wedge. I ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet. It's supposed to split twisted wood. We shall see.

 

6 ton electric splitter

 

Just been for the last load four pieces in total are spongy in the middle. From a full tree for free I'll not be moaning ,
The last pic is the stump in his garden , he's cut him self a chair out of it
