    Another great score. Sure weighs down the f150. Better get a 250!

    Nice! Looks almost as good as the Mulberry I got today!

    I did happen to get a chunk of Paper Birch today, that is some nice splitting stuff.

    Filled in the last stack with about 1/3 of the splits. Dont know if he will give me more storage or i have to figure out a new storage strategy for BL.

    Nah, it was just a few pieces so I didn't bother. I can take a pic of the stack, but it wouldn't look quite this nice.
    I DO, however, have a Mulberry tree that came down that I will be cutting up sometime soon. I will be sure to take pictures of that.

    Sounds great. Looking forward to seeing it! Always interesting to see what other hoarders are working on.

    I gotta take a picture of a mess that I'm working on. Maybe you will have some good ideas. In my tree line we had an Aspen that was dead standing come down and wedge itself in some other trees. Its pretty interesting how it lays. Tomorrow, if I can, I will get a few pictures and make a thread. I wouldn't mind the advice, but it will also let you see some of the stuff I'm trying to clean up.
