First Wood Score

My first one. He said it was ash and, as my other thread states, I have no knowledge to disagree. This was at best 1/4 of what was there. Going back on Monday with the trailer for the rest. Feels good to get the first one under my belt!

 

The truck was squatting pretty good so I thought I better call that good for the first run!! 6.5" box.

 

Yep that is ash

 

Ash, indeed. Nice score!

 

Congrats on your first scrounge. May it be the first of many.

Split that and it'll be ready for the fall. Some maybe even right away if needed. One nice thing about scrounging dead wood.

 

And he's off- life will never be the same. You will forever be looking for downed trees wherever you drive.

 

And it twere a goodn...ash indeed!

 

Good for you, one of many to come. Start building those stacks.

 

Anyone have an idea what a truck load like this is in volume once split and stacked. 1/6 of a cord??? Just curious.

 

I would say about 1/3 of a cord. Maybe a little less.

 

Nice looking rounds.

Hoard on!

 

I put helper springs on my Chevy 1500, 6.5' box. Really helps.

 

I'd guess 1/4

 

After you split and stack it, let us know how it measures up.

 

Maybe 1/3 of a cord.. My 8' bed F150 when neatly fill with rounds is a half cord when level with the sides.

A third of a cord will make a 4x8' stack. If you figure the face area (not volume) it will total 32 square feet. This is known as a face cord. Another common unit of measure for firewood volume. This is of course for 16" long splits.

Nice haul.
