buzzsawBRAD...member of the cordwood cartel If you’ve got a tree down in the yard and you want it, you better nail it down! I’m with midwinter on not being that brave but you can bet I wish I was! You inspire us all Brad
I am in no way encouraging one to trespass and take wood. I know this is town property. There are no 'NO TRESPASSING" signs around plus i was thanked for cleaning it up by a neighbor. Ball fields right up the street. Parking lots and i saw a fisherman as there is a little river for it. Had i not been afflicted with locust mania i wouldnt care. My normal MO is to get permission prior to taking wood and/or cutting unless the wood is right on the curb. 75% of the time i get the okay when asking. I have gotten a lot more brazen in recent times.
You are now in stage 5 of the disease...you must just feed the monster...keeping it fat n happy is the only way to keep it from destroying you now
ANNNND having CAD on top of it too! That does it...im cutting a PU full of locust tomorrow BTW...how many stages does it have?
Actually if i had a choice id choose Western red cedar. Love the smell of it and love working with it. building stuff. Although i like the thought of locust.
Havent been back to this score in over five months. Spring came and it got overgrown plus the grassy area i park on got too tall. Dead locust...no rush. Recent storms took a couple tops down. Limited time today but wanted my BL fix so i stopped and bucked one top. On my way home anyhow as i drive by there on a regular basis. Had sectioned one dead tree and never moved it roadside. Flip flopped those out for next time. Not much room on PU otherwise i mightve bucked more. I looked around and another 6-7 trees down, all dead except one. Not big, but section and move to road. Maybe a tree per stop??
Moved it to the stack yesterday. Second almost full. Made room for the third. Hafta get more pallets tomorrow. Before After Each row 3/4 cord each rack 1.5 cords so almost three there. Half cord more being processed.
Been wanting to grab this for the last three months, Bucked all the sections i had moved to the edge of the woods and another top from the August storms. Maybe a face cord total. Still several blowovers in there. I'll use the same MO and nibble away...buck into sections and move to roadside or load directly.
Good work! There must be a ton there in that one spot, looks like you’ve been working this score for almost a year now and it just keeps producing.... I’m impressed
Its five minutes from home and not a high priority to get. The sections have been sitting for three months and i drive by there very often. Trees arent that big, but most barkless and off the ground. Got overgrown in the warm weather so i didnt work it and no worries about someone else taking the wood...unless you happen to be in the area?
