So, I have have a couple wood scores lately. However I gave no pictures of either for proof. The first one was a couple large box elder trees. Roughly totalling 2 chords. And today's score was a large branch off of an ash tree that a neighbor wanted down. The ash I estimate to be about a face chord
Sounds like some good finds. No pics ...no ride in the corporate helicopter for you! Hoard on and cut safe Steve!
OK! FINE!! Here is the missing branch of ash I cut. And here is the Box Elder trees bucked, ready to split. And as a bonus! With the crazy winds we've been having, this guy fell just a block from my house! A HUGE ASH TREE!! And that other picture floating around in there somewhere is the small pile of ash I got from the ash branch.
That ash, at the base of the tree, the bark is uber-weaved, deeply furrowed, I didn't know they got like that. But I don't get to see them. I don't know where a single ash tree is around here. I thought I had some on my land but I'm doubting my ID now. I only have hoarded one ash, died in a neighbor's yard, I didn't even know it was there until it was dead. I sure like the wood. I have also heard that they do grow in some spots around here, I have a logger on the lookout. Also recall a spot that they grew when I was a kid but I have no access now.
And the honeylocust I don't get to have. There's another guy in town that always seems to get the good scores in town before I do. Of course he has lived here all his life, and I've only been here almost 9 years.
