    I usually only use the saw at home with a sawbuck only a few times have I used it away...I am not that good with it so that's what I do, as long as I can lift it and load it I will take it home...

    Was teasing.. but I understand.. my saw is in trunk but not all PPE:emb: so I am very careful.... our dumps never have wood like that in them.. saws is for driveway and roads ... I won't leave branches in road usually see a few after storms.. country living..

    Nice dump find! We're too regulated here, to allow such things at a dump. Come to think of it, we don't have dumps. We have "transfer stations". ~sigh~

    looks like red maple to me
    cut 6 months to a year ago for the cracks and bark peeling back like that - maybe not quite so long considering how dry the Summer was in some places.
    They'd have powderpost beetles in 'em if they were here. I don't get them on oak, just maple. Doesn't matter where or how I stack them. One infestation and then done, so I never see them in the house. They're gone by then.

    Yes milleo you got hold of some beautiful soft maple. I love the stuff and we have plenty of it here too.

    And Loon I'm happy to see you change the name back to the original.
