    8D30DE38-2E24-481C-A559-60016859AEFA.jpeg two nice loads of maple, hoping to roll it up this weekend after one more split day Saturday with the boys. Did sell one 2 cord load for 350 to cover some expenses.

    I don’t know what they are called. But around here concrete companies that have trucks come back with some leftover, they pour it into molds to clean the trucks. Then they deliver them for about 100 bucks each if I recall. Only catch is they weigh 3600 pounds each so I had to have guy with bigger loader than mine set them for me. I really like them, and you can push against them with the loader to scoop up wood

    Around here they're called barrier blocks. Generally a waste product from the ready-mix companies, although there are some companies that use custom forms to make the faces look like brick or stone ashlar, and they sell at a premium. Good for massive retaining walls too.
