    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.

    Those are great sizes for logs, perfect to work with. Nice score!

    I have to agree with CutSplitStack. I love logs that size.
    Another nice score.
    Have to ask, what it cost you in charity donation?:D

    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.

    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. IMG_6059.JPG IMG_6060.JPG IMG_6061.JPG IMG_6062.JPG
    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.
