The OFFICIAL Firewood Hoarder's Club thread!!!

'19-'20 in the books just about and a healthy cord to split remaining.

 

When I get ready to stack that is what I have in mind. What I end up with is another story (nightmare).
Looking gooder

 

damm nice Cnice.... Looks like you been hard at work!!!!!!

 

Hey guys, I got a truck load today from limbing these shagbark hickory trees....I only used the ms180 I rebuilt today, and yes she still is making me smile.... Tough little clamshell lol....i brought my ms362 for the bigger stuff today, but I only had time to get one load.... My little girls very first birthday was today, so she took first priority!!!!

 

Congratulations on the wood and her first birthday. My little boy had a monkey themed party that first year.
Is she walking yet?

 

That's about what I endup with when I first stack it. A year or two later it's all kattywampus!

 

I bet he loved that party!!!..... Yes she will go about 10 feet or so right now, and she will stand in place for a little while lol..... Hard to believe how fast they grow!!!!

 

Yea he did. But #2 was trains. He loved that's one!!!

He didn't walk till he was right at like 13 months or so.

 

Well seems nobody been posting pics....I got the ms461 out to break down some big elm pieces, and of course hit metal with my brand new 25" bar and chain

So after seeing some more "objects" in the wood I got the ol trusty ms290 out.... She don't see much use except when I don't want to mess up my other saws lol.... I buried the 20" bar both bucking, and noodling and she never complained a bit.... As you can see some of the pieces were over 25"....

 

Well here is my next scrounge.... Finally got permission for this spot.... As you can see it has been logged, and there are a lot of tops.... I don't know how many trees they got but i only took a few pics, lots more... All good hardwood, a lot of red and white oak with ash and hickory scattered around.... Looks like this will be keeping me warm for a few years....

Always trying to keep some places lined up so I never have to worry about wee I can get wood!!!!

 

Logged!! The wood is still all over the ground!

 

I know, sad isn't it..... I swear I almost feel it's my duty to not let wood go to waste.... It's pitiful, I like to burn and cut wood, but hate to see the waste!!!

 

That's just sloppy logging. And an innatentive forester if they even had one.

This is comeing from a forester.

 

Well next time I go back to my black walnut spot I will take more pics, same type of thing... If you look back a few pages I have pics of it....

I am not a logger, but I would think ahead before falling trees like some of these companies.... I understand in a woods it's inevitable to hit something, but good lord!!!!

 

Sometimes that's the only "quality" people that they can find to run the equipment.

Unless you have no pulp wood market there that tree you last showed should never be left to lay in the woods.

 

More for you

Ya I tell ya I have thought before I wish I had extra time to mill, I just don't right now.... I agree with ya 100% these logs that are 20" diameter or bigger and solid, could surely be used...

That's another reason I bought the ms461.... I run into wood over 20 fairly frequently, and the knuckles of some of the trees are huge that these guys leave.... I just keep a sharp chain and whittle away till it's all gone and in my backyard!!!

 

Yes sir, it does keep my heat bill way down in winter plus heating my water!!!!

 

Even down here in SC I save between $50 to 200+ a month from the months of oct-april.

 

Looks like an area I cut at one time, that was logged
