    A friend of mine had 4 trees dropped by the tree trimmers. One hard Maple and three Red Maples, I got two truckloads today, and am planning on getting two more loads tomorrow. A couple of pics of the loads and the pile back at the house. I was on the road to his place within 30 minutes of him calling me to ask if I wanted it.:saw::woodsign: DSCN1783.JPG DSCN1785.JPG DSCN1788.JPG DSCN1789.JPG DSCN1791.JPG

    Some of the rounds were very heavy lifting. The bigger ones I had to cut to 12" instead of 16" so I could pick em up. Also, in case any eagle eyes spot them, there are 3 or 4 Hemlock rounds in the mix.

    I don't see much hemlock down here so I probably couldn't spot a hemlock round with a telescope! :rofl: :lol:

    Now a hemlock tree in the wild is a different story. I've hiked and bicycled enough in the great, frozen Northeast to know one when I see it.

    Good Lookin, NH! Sugar maple is like rocket fuel, and red is nothing to sneeze at either. Been running it almost exclusively for a couple weeks here and it gets the job done for sure.
