    Wood in the first 2 pics, nrford on the other forum says it's Siberian/Chinese Elm.
    I thought it might be Elm
    I gotta split some bigger pieces of that other stuff

    Now that HD has collected the wood, we will find out later on what the final tally is on cord count. He's got a few different kinds of species in there too, nice mix

    Funny you say that , I had to chase one round that took off down the hill and a couple others almost got away :)
    There was a kinda flat spot next to the driveway.

    Ended up with some Siberian/Chinese Elm, cherry, mulberry, box elder and a little birch n pine

    HOLLY CHIT, What a score !
    You are on a roll, buy a lotto ticket ! !

    Guessing cherry & ash ?
    They look huge ! Looks like a good, level, dry location to butcher them up at too.

    That will hook you up, & put you ahead
    Way to go ! :)

    FREE & you get to run your saws.
    Might have to give that Husqy 61 a workout , at least go as a back -up,

    Went out to take a look at the site today.
    Pictures are deceiving this stuff is all down in a big gully.
    There's a lot more stuff down there than what the pictures show, a lot of it is way back in the gully.
    I will get some of this wood but I am Not going to try for all of it, some are hung up
    The cherry is pretty close to the front but right now its been raining and it ground is soft, can't get back in there with the trailer, gonna have to Wait about a week for rains to quit.
    I didn't take any pictures cuz I left the phone in the truck
