They prepare wood nicely. They help load. They only ask that I take quality tree woods. In the past couple weeks they have provided me approximately 20 cord of wood. The latest being a 9 cord Douglas fir tree. This is why we are different on the west coast PNW. We survived loading these rounds in my trailer up the ramps but I said that’s it. So they blocked down the even bigger rounds for me! They were approaching 60” near the stump.

    Do they drop these at your residence or do you go out to get them?

    That stuff looks so good! I don't know what it is, but straight grain wood chunked into splits just has a certain appeal to it.

    I looked and he mentioned douglas fir. Then I looked at the pictures and didn't see any oak. Oak would be a lot more rare in the PNW than douglas fir. Still, great BTU's though, and both split easily. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

    Awesome score!

    Like buZZsaw BRAD said, at first glance the rounds did look oakey. They certainly split nice and clean like oak.:yes:
