    It wasn’t raining this morning and it was only 45 degrees so I decided to get some wood.

    661 with 28” bar made quick work of this red oak. It was green so I didn’t want to overload the trailer. 8954FC9C-8AB7-40C5-B4BD-27F82430758C.jpeg

    Some of the chickens came to see if the wood had any bugs... 2ACDD3F7-B61B-4CCF-BCA5-9B73359FF9C6.jpeg

    After the first load I decided to hit up a Facebook marketplace listing for wood.

    Your mystery wood looks like maple.

    I wish I had some help loading... I just roll the rounds onto my trailer. The few I had to load into the back of the truck were not fun. The maple wood was very light compared to the oak.
