    I heard the unmistakable music of a chainsaw down the street this morning, followed the noise, and found a city crew taking down a silver maple. Not exactly a grail wood, but it was laying on pavement two doors down and free for the taking.

    I grabbed the 562 and got to work.

    Maple isn't my favorite to split, but this wasn't too bad.

    Filled out a row and was glad to duck out of the heat. Thermometer read north of 80 by the time I was back inside.

    Can’t beat 2 doors down, and I’ll burn maple all day long! Nice looking rounds

    Love the sound of a chain saw nearby...potential for a wood score. Idve been all over that. A lot easier than that BL score.

    Fresh cut silver maple splits pretty easily by hand.
