The Car Hoarding thread

Looks like a stress-free hoard. That's a big tree!

 

Yes totally stress free and easy...Maybe I should go back for the rest? I mean it doesn't look like it will survive with a wound like that haha!

 

You'd be doing Kmart a favor!

 

Asplundh cut some young locusts yesterday, I got half a car load...
There's a little more that I'll go back for later. Also, they're working on an oak a little further down the road. Even if they're just trimming it, there will probably be some pickings. It's on city or commercial property, too, not in someone's yard.
Stashed for a splitting day...

 

Looks splendid! Did they cut them to stove size or was that you?

 

That was me. There were 2 smallish logs. They chipped all the tops, of course.

 

nice little score!

 

I hadn’t seen any red oak at my honey dump in a while. The sap-wood is in sore shape, but the heartwood is holding strong.

 

Well worth getting! I think it dries faster than green.

 

Nothing like a zombie wood score, especially when its oak! Heartwood still seems pretty saturated, but as Midwinter said it should dry a bit quicker than green. Your hoarding posts keep getting better!

 

The red oak was still there and I think some tulip poplar? I got a half and half load. I actually like the poplar. It dries in less than a year, and catches so easy when dropped on coals in the morning. I like having a few splits as it saves me a good ten minutes easy trying to get things hot again.

 

Yup tulip poplar. I was stacking some poplar splits just over two months split and i couldnt get over how light some were already.
Nice stuff and way to get it!

 

A lot of southern catalpa from the dump, and a little black locust from the side of the road.
The catalpa must be almost dry, it's so light.

 

Nice hoard young lady, how the heck you got them into the trunk?

 

They weren't heavy at all, more like balsa wood!

 

Catalpa and Black locust in same load..."A Tale of Two Trunks"

 

Hit the dump again today, and found some big mulberry rounds. There's more mulberry and catalpa if I care to go back... which I think I will!

 

Making the most of the situation!

 

I got all the mulberry that was gettable, plus some more catalpa. The wood had been pushed into the pile by the loader, so the log tongs helped pull it out. Going to try my luck this afternoon too.
