    Sure looks like it. Seems like decent enough wood to make the effort to gather up and stack. Not as good as some, better than others.

    I'll be dropping three large catalog trees in a couple of weeks, weather permitting. They were girdles a couple of years ago. Tjme to bring good them down.

    They'll be cut into rounds and rolled unto the woods. Not going to make the effort to css catalpa. Probably 2-3 cords worth, though. Good for campfires, I suppose.

    Elm, i hit a round of elm as thick as my thigh a few times and the maul bounced right off. That stuff is tough to slit by hand. Nice loads

    Another day... IMG_20180517_4952.jpg IMG_20180517_58831.jpg IMG_20180517_50612.jpg I've been stalking this Craigslist ad all week, and they finally called me. This was way in the back, and I had to hike it out. The people who came before me took the elm, which was in front. Ha!
    Going back tomorrow for a couple of big chunks.

    I haven't come across locust since late last winter. Though, I got almost a cord and a half out of that one.

    The trick is, look at the CL pictures carefully.

    I usually do. It's just luck of the draw I think. I haven't been haunting CL too much lately.

    I went to haverhill a few weeks ago for a load of ash. Turned out to all be punky. I would have left it, but he literally put it on the street for me. Put it all right in the fire pit pile.

    Strike one for offer up

    You never know. I went to this one not knowing if the locust would still be there.
    Helped that it was the farthest from the street, and looked old and nasty.

    I knew you said you were locust only, but roadside easy oak was worth mentioning

    I'm so spoiled. No, it's just that I'm really trying to wrap up the wood thing before it gets too hot.

    It doesn't look like it to me, the bark looks wrong.

    On the plus side, it's free wood

    Winner winner chicken dinner. I personally don't like really hot weather, and wood hoarding in the heat sucks azz.
