The OFFICIAL Firewood Hoarder's Club thread!!!

Maybe it's just regional differences in markets? That's merchanable wood laying in these pics. That hardwood he posted if 20" and a hard hrdwood would be worth around $20 around here as pulp wood . One tree not as big a deal, but if the while woods is like that and there 20 trees that size it adds up quick. I make my loggers pic anything up down to about 10" on the but to utilize.

 

Most of the wood in my picture, I took home and burned up long ago.
Yes the property owner was not happy,, loggers did a crappy job, but, free wood for me

 

I understand you used it. But think of how many dont. In most woods there is enough volume of tops to not even get it all before it rots, assuming a decent size job to begin with.

 

Oh yeah there was a lot of wasted rotten wood out there some pretty big stuff too

 

Yes sir guys like you and we will cut in a woods until it's all gone or rotten!!!

 

And yes sir, I know excactly what you mean.... There are farmers around here that will let huge piles of good useable wood rot or they burn it.... Now guys I understand liability to a "T".... But let me tell ya something the pics I just posted of my newest scrounge, I made up my own liability waiver and me and the homeowner agreed to it so we are both safe.... Now why in the hell won't these farmers do the same.... I would rather let someone who will use the wood come get it before I ever wasted it or burnt it up....

None before you farmers hate me, I know alot of the ol farmers around here, and a lot are great with the few firewood guys still around (alot of the people around me to damm lazy to work let alone do extra work after a 40 hour a week job).... But I think it's pitiful to see the wood they waste, rant over sorry!!!!!!!!'

 

We have one of those in resources.

Well thank you sir.... I made my own up as I did not know we had one here, I will remember that for future reference, thanks!!!!

 

Scottyoverkill dropping a big red oak.

 

This tree was a real pain when we got it down, as soon a about as it hit the ground the skys opened up and it was one heck of a rain storm! How it fell made it quite hard to cut it into log lengths. We ended up having 3 saws stuck at one time. Needless to say they ended ip being short logs till we got all the saws unstuck.

 

DANG!

 

That's a tall one! I'm having a rough time seeing any protective gear on you, Scotty!

 

it is hard when to accept when the heroes don't always follow the rules. Proves he is human like the rest of us.

 

Like he tells his kids "do as I say not as I do"!

 

Ya need a 5 saw plan for dat

 

Or the Scotty O 27 saw plan??
