    This is my first time posting in the woodshed in a bit, I hope everybody is doing well. IMG_6823.jpeg IMG_6824.jpeg IMG_6829.jpeg IMG_6832.jpeg I ran an errand this morning and noticed the town cutting near my house. I enquired and was told take it. No reserves. When I finished my errand it was still there. It was a standing dead sugar maple, I took all the non punky wood. It is nice, it is dry and splits easy.

    Nice grab. That’s what I call unicorn firewood. Sugar maple without bark, dry on the inside and not rotten. :thumbs:

    Nice grab. Looks ready to burn. Any scrounges from the dump lately Thom?

    I spotted some fresh state cutting to and from my delivery yesterday. Have to bring him a second load and the saw is coming along for the ride.

    Nice score! Sugar maple is beautiful stuff, awesome for smoking as well.

    Nothing from mine in 2-3 trips in recent weeks other than a single 3' cherry log that I forgot to post pics of. Have a couple more trips coming next week.
