Regular finally called for his first half cord. Went out late this afternoon. He'll get three more this Winter. Second load should go this weekend.
Day after Christmas second half cord to a regular. Forgot to post pics. Second load to another regular today. Supposed to go sooner but snow limited access to stack. Almost got stuck in mud back there.
Couple load went out yesterday. First was 50/50 mix of dead barkless BL and hickory. Second load was a half cord of bark on. Both to regular customers.
Good friend got a half cord of barkless yesterday. A little different than I usually do as it was cut green and I let it sit a few months before splitting. The bark came off as I split it. Dried more than two years. Seemed as dense as the usual barkless I sell. Normally bark on gets SS ASAP to retain the bark but this was a huge tree. I saved a couple pieces of bark to show him how much volume the bark would take up.
Half cord load of bark on headed out today to a regular. They like to get a cord early on for next year. This load was SS last July. Saw on hand for a cut after.
Loaded and delivered the barkless BL I cut earlier in the week. Not quite a quarter cord. Stacked in my friends shed. Saves me from storing it here. I have another cut of barkless coming up that will fill it up.
Half cord load of BL heartwood (when I split large rounds I separate out barkless splits) delivered yesterday to my only original BL customer. The stack it was pulled from. During and after loaded pics. Stacked on his new set up. He'll get another half cord to fill up it up next month. Delivered all the BL from Sundays cut (40% of a cord) to my friend. Added to what I stacked last week. A little more needed to fill it up. Holds around 3/4 cord.
I have slowly gone up on the price and my current 4-5 regulars pay it without question. Two regulars never call and or returned texts last Fall. One other regular is too far and wont pay the increase for delivery. Fine by me as I don't have to go BTTW finding the stuff. Liking the fact I'm able to now deliver direct to them once its split for the most part. Of course I never know when a score of fresh cut will come my way.
