Talking with my daughter in laws cousin who has become a good friend of mine over the 4th of July weekend, and he said a guy he know set up a portable mill on the job site and has a bunch of bundles of slab wood, sells them for $20. Told him to let me know next time he goes over to the logging site, I’m interested in getting some. Yesterday afternoon, he pulls up to my house with an implement trailer loaded with two giant bundles of slab wood! Helps me unload them and said no charge, the logger just wants to get rid of them! I did give him some gas money and a couple cold beers as it was 90 degrees and humid. I calculate well over a cord, all Red oak and Hickory. Good surprise, good friend.
It pays to talk firewood. Never know what you'll get. Some good stuff there. Sounds like a good connection. Time to get and maybe some
Quite a few times I’ve seen bundles of slab wood near me for dirt cheap. Not quite $20 cheap but very affordable. Heck of a bargain for that load. Be cool if you could get that on the regular.
