Far for me is 40 miles, and I don't do that too often. My job is 30 miles from home and I get a lot of wood from that area, but I'm going there...
Yes these rounds are nasty enough to where I'll put the outer splits aside for the fire pit/camping wood. Good thing the heartwood is solid...
This is the first time I'm seeing this method. Looks quick and easy. I don't know though, if you're this guy's most productive part time employee...
Back to the dead oak scrounging. On today’s menu: white oak that was felled recently as part of a roadside cutting. Sapwood mostly rotted away but...
The forest is a funny place to find a rooster [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
They were outside a machine shop that makes springs and various stamped parts out of thin sheet metal. The pallets most likely were made to ship...

I was at the department of public works this morning filling up a few buckets with taxpayer funded compost, when I spotted a pile of pallets at...
Beautiful day here too… calm before the storm though. I’d love to be out processing more of my log pile right now but I’ve got other stuff going...

Don’t jinx me Dave :whistle: The pallet was strapped down. :)
House was cold this morning at 62. Checked the temperature outside… 31! I still have to take my air conditioners out of the windows :emb: Having...
I like saving bacon grease to get my springtime outdoor fire going when I'm burning all the sticks and twigs that fell in my yard over the winter....
Congrats for not falling off the wagon :rofl: :lol: I'm also set for many years to come, but fully understand the temptation. :loco: :crazy:
I’ve always just done $20 and I seem to get a delivery within a few weeks. Back in January when I got two loads of nice red oak I also gave the...
Second and final load of the day. The customer was in need of another pallet and luckily I have an abundance of these: [ATTACH]
I’m planning on not selling too much longer TBH. It’s a lot to keep up with on top of regular life stuff. For me the business pressure side of it...
13” splits heading to a new customer. Oak, hickory, ash, beech, red maple, apple, elm, cherry, and black birch. I think that’s everything...
