Same yard from my Don't Choke...I'm Taking Oak! score. Guy had a small sugar maple and a dead twin pignut hickory taken down. Meat looked good on the hickory. I got the maple out yesterday as it was in the way of his greenhouse build. I'd like to get the hickory this week before it gets too dirty.
I have to agree with CutSplitStack. I love logs that size. Another nice score. Have to ask, what it cost you in charity donation?
Actually one of the coolest guys I've gotten scores from. Right before I joined FHC he stops at one of my roadside cuts and offers some logs in his yard to me and this is maybe the 6th or 7th time I've gone there. Still have the red oak from the other thread there. Close to home and I will be able to drive over the years to access the hickory. No rush to cut, lets me split in his driveway too.
You know we love ya Brad! The FHC is like a second family. You got to get the jabs in when you can. And you know it will be years down the road and someone will bring up the donation.
100%!!! This is not only the way of FHC, but displays one of the staple underpinnings of all life- family.
Worked on the hickory this afternoon. Limb wood wasn't chipped and I was surprised to find it in the woods. A little work to get it out but worth it. Ill make another trip back for it with the 241. All of it was solid except for one side of a lower trunk that has some loose bark. Thinking this will dry for 2025-26 sale.
Split the load right off the PU on Wednesday. Rickyblazin would be proud! Had some rounds occupying the rack it will be stacked in so split those yesterday. Maybe some stacking today.
Way to go brad i cant stop now that i started this method…I did it again last nite got a smaller load of red oak, my wife had it with me because it was three nites in a row of me coming home a little late and splitting off the tail gate till completion this weekend im on babysitting duty monday after work back at it with more homelites and big red oak!
Pics of the filled half cord rack. All from this score. Some also topped off a half cord of longer drying woods...SBH, honey locust & dogwood
