Loaded truck pics.

The weather finally eased up so I could start cutting. All alder.

 

90% red oak with the rest being white and chestnut oak, out for delivery to last weekend’s customer. Short splits for north-south loading.

 

Second and final load for the day. Mostly oak with a fair amount of mulberry.

 

I got back out to the woods to cut up some more blow downs after a few weeks off.

First load was 2/3 ash and 1/3 what I think is some sort of hickory. I was surprised to see we still have some standing dead ash trees. There can't be many left at this point.

Ash


Hickory??



I came back for a second load of the hickory(?) and brought a helper...


I got about half a truckload on the second trip.

 

Now that’s a proper load, above cab height!

 

I wasn't aware there is any other way

 

Out again today. Mostly hemlock with a little alder. Hemlock is my least favorite but it's what was available.

 

Firewood with a view!

 

I'm happy to get Hemlock ,split and dried under cover for two years it burns clean with little to no creosote in the chimney!!!We're just a little north of you!

 

Got to come= Happy looking Dog!!!

 

I'm not sure why, but I've had good hemlock and I've had hemlock that burned like crap. It is plentiful though as they like to tip over in storms and FS permits only allow cutting trees that are down.

 

I can join in again, now that I have a new bed on my truck....

Spruce, that will be turned into fence pickets.

 

If its been down on the ground for more than a couple of years it does not burn as good as a new windfall !.

 

Grabbed a load of maple and oak today. The new bed works great. Just over a cord on this load.

 

Lookin’ good!

 

1 truck/trailer load of chestnut oak from the honey hole today. Loaded w/ landowners Bobcat.

 

More oak and maple today. That makes 4 cord over the last two days.

 

You sold your mulberry???

 

Heaping load of tulip poplar

 

LOL not all, maybe half. I’m learning to not get too attached to the wood I hoard. Now that I’m a small time seller, pretty much everything is potentially for sale.
