I think I just seen the biggest Bur Oak ever in my life!!!

That's a big'un. Hope you can bring some home.

 

Lots of good wood in that 20" and under stuff!

 

You must want to go buck at least a few truckloads of it!! Stash it at your parents place out in the country!!

 

That is a BIG'UN!!!!!! Lot's of good firewood in that baby for sure.

 

Sure I would & they wouldn't care,but its just over 2 hrs round trip not to mention loading the truck with a topper is slower & much more work.Wont hold as much either as open pickup.Would cost $40 round trip for gas,money is tight this month so far.
Pretty sure some big tree service was hauling it off as part of the contract - seen a huge empty dump truck with grapple boom heading north on my street in early afternoon.


I'll swing by there tomorrow & look again,will be surprised if any is left though.

 

That is a big monster for sure.
Sometimes you can get em sometimes you can't that's the way it is, but you get some pictures

 

Very nice! Thanks for the pictures.

 

Handling and cutting up that size wood takes a lot of $ equipment. But if you are set up for it, that is a valuable find.

 

I really hope you get some of that Thistle. That's the one type of wood I rarely get my hands on.

 

I can see not doing it then. My brother in law offered me some wood at someones house he knows they dont want it. I asked was it css, said no. I said no then its a 3 hr trip and all I could get it with would be a 4x8 utility trailer. I said now if I can bring a dump truck and they load me with a bodcat maybe.?? But probably not , I have way too much wood way closer to my house.

 

My address is......................... Most of the hardwood is further south of me.

 

Looks like my hunch on Thursday afternoon was correct.Went by there later this afternoon & everything was gone,driveway was spotless. Glad I got those pics when I did....

 

That would have made a great day for a charity cut! Lots of BTUs in one place grouped together.

There are several of the Iowa folks who have big hearts & would have jumped in to help. Sam-tip has the toys to move the chunks! Give the folks with the big saws a chance to play. But alas, sometimes folks don't think about this option & are impatient as well.
