And that is not a bad situation to be in at all. I'll bet by the time you do get to processing even more will fall in your lap.
You're probably right NH mountain man. We always get calls for the big stuff that no one else wants because people know we're set up to deal with it. I don't necessarily enjoy cuttin and splitting stuff that big but hey, it's btu's right! We'll take it.
I have been offered some real big stuff that I had to turn down because of the difficulty of moving and handling it. Big city trees, 40 + inches in dia. I have done a big 40" Maple that I trailered my splitter to the site and vertically split the rounds to be able to get them into to the truck. But the rounds weighed so much I could hardly move them a few feet to the splitter from the trunk I was cutting. Whew! It was almost like work.
Nobody else sensing some serious "You Suckage"? Some might call it blind luck; I'd go for right place, right time. We need seminar on how that works.
Nice load of wood! Not easy dealing with the big stuff! I split some big stuff (36" TO 40") last year. I had to split the rounds with wedges before I could move them. A 12 to 16 inch red oak round is heaven to me!
Nice looking white oak, pretty clean and no rot that I see. Looks like a bunch of noodling in your future?
Yessir! Gonna have a spaghetti dinner when im done. But if you closely at the pic of load #1 you'll see an auto crane on dads big splitter. That's for the really bigguns
Well it's all home. Dad's been bustin his butt hauling a load here and there. I've just been too dang busy with life in general to after it. It was pretty convenient since the logs were between his place and mine so if he was headed this way with an empty trailer, he'd stop and get a load. He also dropped his smaller forklift at the bosses house to make it a one man job. Here's the final pile and a proud piney sr standing behind "big bird".
