Almost a full load of Shagbark Hickory and Mulberry!

Oh you guys just wait till you've been at it a few more years. The scores that find you then aren't measured in loads, but how many dozen cord you can move in a day or a weekend. Wait till ya gotta turn down a score because you have several paying tree jobs stacked up.

 

I can't imagine cleaning up people's trees aka a score as a job, like someone paying me to do it. My head WOOD explode.

 

I have a situation where I can get all the wood I want and more. I keep bringing wood home and I’m compelled to process it and I do and I get more and the cycle continues. The problem is I have several standing dead on my property that I keep putting off because I keep bringing piles home. One standing dead oak probably 80’ tall is next to driveway parking that my wife uses. I’ve told her not to park under it, but you know the deal. She’s got two cars near it right now, with one directly under waiting to catch a limb. That tree has got to be felled as soon as my piles are processed.

 

I've been trying not to bring anything in for the time being. We have so much wood out at Lefty's, both brought in and blowdowns and damaged trees on his place, that we are set for 3 years or more, not including what is already spilt at my place ( 3 years). Still hard to turn down good wood.

 

If it's nice, I can't help myself. If I'm on the fence, I'll leave it. But nice, I can't un-see what I just saw.

 

I kinda had to do that with my score from May where there was nine trees felled. Postponed a couple scores plus the weather hasnt been conducive for firewood making.

 

Ive got two to do this week. One a firewood making job, the other a tree take down. Threads to follow. Stay tuned.

 

Today's Haul From The Clearing Job.
If you can get paid on both ends, both to remove and firewood sales it's not too bad. The firewood market is pretty good around here with heating costs rising and the tree removal business is brisk as well. I'm at a point that I can leave my employees in the shop & do a few tree jobs to pay for all the wood equipment I keep buying. It's fun as a side hustle.

 

I too have a virtually unlimited wood supply & may or not have a few standing dead trees the need to come down. Mine at least aren't targeting anything important right now.

 

Are you serious about buying a firewood processor AC?

Few jobs i did this year i didnt have to worry about the wood and liked it more.

 

Yep, I'm biding my time till the right deal/machine comes along.
