    I’m planning on taking down/having them dropped about 70 trees from 10-24” dbh some are yard trees so unlikely any interest from loggers. Mix of white, red and pin oaks. They are in front of a business I bought that needs better visibility. Anyone want some, a whole bunch???

    Don’t revoke my membership but I’ll have to put anything that’s not a log on the burn pile. As I don’t have time to deal with it. Logs can set for a couple years I’ll cut up a couple cords as I have time to stay 3 years ahead.

    A bit far for me to travel.

    But Midwinter might be headed your way.
    ;)

    I hope you can find some folks that need some nice firewood.
    :yes:

    It’s in Lebanon about 45 minutes from Springfield. I’ll be out there working almost every Saturday if anyone wanted to swing by or if a group wanted to I’d host a little get together. I’m going to get as much done as I can with my tractor then either rent an aerial man hoist or just hire out the rest. Meche_03 if your close enough I’ll get you fixed up with all the oak you want. I’ll post some pictures next time I’m by there.

    Roughly 90 miles for, which isn't bad, I just don't really have room for more or time.

    Sucks to have to throw out what can be considered a valuable resource.

    Found a picture 6BFB7E21-A1EF-453F-8A59-74888B5539BA.jpeg of the front that shows a fraction of what I’ve got to cut!

    So a total of 71 trees from 10’ish inches up to a white oak I measured at 88” circumference. A couple others I didn’t measure that are just as big and maybe bigger! 7C2B82D0-620D-420C-AD2E-ADBC01433FBC.jpeg 4319FD1A-79BF-4DFB-9910-33EE8ED01CB2.jpeg 7C2B82D0-620D-420C-AD2E-ADBC01433FBC.jpeg

    That's alot of good wood.

    My father is bringing me a 7k trailer load of black locust with a 1 ton bed full of hedge for Christmas on Monday. I mentioned this offer and he told me to keep the trailer and use it as needed. So I got a trailer for logs....I just need to source a one ton to haul effectively.
