    Saw an add the other day looking for someone to split for half. Minimum 9 red oaks, (I know red oak right) down and cut to 16-18" length. Hauled the splitter over today to survey the land scape. All easy access and sizeable rounds.

    Spent a couple hours splitting a hickory the owner wants to keep, making some room so they can maneuver around and start stacking.

    Plan to hit it hard next weekend.

    Sounds like a good deal to me. You have the right machinery for it too.

    IMG_20171009_152153236.jpg IMG_20171009_152259531.jpg Another load today. This is mostly limb wood that is to long for the homeowner. I split about 25 rounds for them. Next load of splits will be mine.

    Too long for homeowner but just right for you. Sounds fair enough! Good that you split some for them too.

    Turning rounds into splits today. I'm slowly getting this wrapped up. Should be done this weekend. IMG_20171017_110251715.jpg IMG_20171016_150438079.jpg IMG_20171017_153038250.jpg
