Was that the black locust in south Seattle? I almost made the trip from Edmonds, desperate. Where was the fruit wood and oak?
The black locust was maybe four weeks ago in Madison Valley…maybe 5 min from my house. Oak was three weeks ago in Greenlake through a tree service…a few scroungers showed up but most had shortbed trucks. For some weird reason I get fruitwood all the time…mostly plum and cherry. The recent fruitwood was last week from a Tacoma-based tree service guy named Stan in NW Seattle, but I took the little plum they had and left the rest (he was misleading in his multiple posts).
I get cherry quite a bit. I was lucky enough to get a couple loads of apple this year from the green lake area before Christmas. Got some Asian plum a couple years ago. That stuff burnt hot. That yew last year was the rarest wood I've ever come across. Curious to ask the people I sold it to how it burnt.
Ive seen this thread a few times now but tonight it just reminded me of a time a few years ago.. Local property with a bunch of town houses took out a crap load of black locust trees, and i mean a crap load. All the wood was being stacked up curb side, first come first serve. I had hauled atleast 8 to 10 truck and 16' trailer loads of logs and rounds, heaping truck and trailer loads. I was so sick of locust after all that, the wood was green and sooo heavy.. Any who.. I went there one day to get some wood and some wild azz lady was literally protecting all of the piles.. Saving them for when her husband came. Every pile i would drive to, she would drive to also and literally stand between me and either my trailer or my truck while i had wood in my hands. Im not going to mention the things i wanted to do to this individual.. I ended up calling the cops and they wouldnt even bother with coming out, didnt care much. I left.. wanted nothing to do with the drama after about the third time being blocked. it was wild as hell...
Makes you wonder what the husband was like. Probably kept your name out of the newspaper by leaving. buZZsaw BRAD pay no attention to this line of his quote..... "I was so sick of locust after all that"
Been driving by a pile of logs in a yard for several months. On my score radar. Yesterday car in driveway with door open. I stopped and asked and he said go for it. We exchanged numbers as no time for me. Thread to come soon.
one thing i love about BL is the "shelf life"...even in the wild. It lasts for years once dead/down. Other than losing the bark and the thin layer of compost under it ill take all i can get.
August 2020 tropical storm Isaias and a small tornado later that month put a lot of BL on the ground around here. Im still finding areas of it little by little. Grows in smaller groves. I wont have much in the way of bark on wood, but a boat load of barkless stuff. Locust mania baby...im lovin it!
We need to have a thread here with all the acronyms that are used on this site. BRAD certainly has two of those if not more. CAD = chainsaw acquisition disorder BLM= black locust mania he is a very sick man.
C orrelation of R ecurring A pocalyptic P henomenon is another one! Going to cut a load of BL (thats Black Locust) today and im looking for another saw!
Selling my extra 261. (50cc) I have a good lead on a 362c (59cc) thats practically new i can get for $625 ($900 OTD new) Already have the 361 (earlierversion of 362) and not really looking to upgrade other than it'd be Mtronic. If a 241 or 200t deal come along id more than likely grab it.
