    Had to noodle an entire 34" Norway maple trunk to make fireplace sized "splits". It yielded 15 wheelbarrows full of noodles. This was over a friends house and he used it for landscaping mulch.

    I cleaned up chips and bark back in 2003, when I processed several cord in the front yard, but with my processing and stacking area in an old gravel pit I haven’t dealt with such things in a long time. Plus no noodles - I leave the gnarly trunks out in the woods for the wildlife to enjoy.

    Aerial view from that big hickory job we did last weekend. Three big hickories and one big Norway spruce. Probably a dump trailer full of sawdust from that job!!

    Not a pile, but not bad considering the wood chips were flying some 20 feet from where I was cutting onto my truck.

    And the dust/chip from milling makes the trifecta.
