    Had a nice score from neighbor who cut red oak and sweetgum..he even hauled over and put in my yard w his lawn tractor. Split oak then sweetgum. U know the sweet was fun splittn!@#$%.
    Then next morning walking w my wife, a new neighbor who we did not really know as they had moved in earlier last fall had 2 white oaks felled Las Dec. He was outside and I got a chance to say hi and introduce our selves. I asked of course about the 2 huge trunks of white sitn in his yard and he said take it if u want it. So my wife n I went and cut it up for my older friend george whos also a wood hoarder but is disabled, and took the other half.
    Sweet weekend!! Love the white swamp oak.. splits like a seam burns like a dream! 20200330_085839.jpg 20200330_090339.jpg
