    Today is a cutting day, although I should be hauling. Didn't think the ground would be dry so soon.

    Who gave you this slab?
    What kind of slab is it?
    Where is the slab, and where's it going?
    Why so much slab?

    Lol. Golf course 1/2 mile from me had mature trees logged out of the undeveloped acreage. All hardwoods, majority oak, but it's a real mixed bag. No pine at all. They had about 10 or so giant piles. One pile takes about 12 loads like the gooseneck above has on it to move. Some comes to my place, most goes another mile down the road to my buddy's outdoor boiler. It's all been down about about 3 years now, but was stacked tightly and still good, some still too green even.

    That pool of yours would hold a fair amount of wood.

    Should be some good burning wood once split and stacked to dry out. I would sure be all over that. Congrats on getting that.

    Welcome to the forum dwyleecoyote

    Indeed that is a lot of slabs and those are best cut up with the buzz saw.
