Firewood thread!!! Let's see what you got!!!!

If I’m running 404 it’s because I like how well it holds its edge. I don’t use it a ton but it goes forever between sharpening. Stuff that would just hammer a chisel tooth

not to sound like a know it all but a lot of guys just like to say full chisel I think. Semi is great once the log hits the ground. Anything skidded around. Yeah semi for sure. Anything old hard and dead with any size to it I grab the 404 semi. Just my personal 2 cents

 

My dirty girl for bad wood 24” hard nose. Top cover is at old mans house

 

Load number 4 from the in town scrounge. Have these two left. Then hoping they will let me work up the small log pile as the guy that was supposed to get it hasn't shown up once yet.

 

I put a couple of tanks thru the ol' 61 this morning before the rain moved in......Now I just need to get it all split and put up

 

Another $300 load of oak started in the t tag.

 

I guess this is the appropriate thread for this question.
What's the local charge per cord delivered in your area? Within 50 miles.
I'm thinking with rising fuel costs and possibly a higher demand, truly seasoned wood should hit $400.
"Semi seasoned @ $350 and green fresh cut at $275-300.
All wood is good hardwoods. Softest being sugar/rock maple.
Thinking of offering seasoned softer maples, popular and the like at $200ish. Dries quick enough in a season to sell as seasoned wood.

Thoughts?

 

Got another trailer load yesterday. All fir, used the massaged 346
all the other wood is stacked.

 

Have a better pic of the red neck crane on the conex box ?

 

Here's the past month of tree work piled up. Honey locust trees and the trunk of a maple as well. The limbs are in my trailer and I forgot to get a picture of those. It's all or nothing around here it seems. I took down 5 big elms last week, but left them lay for another guy because I'm moving at the end of the year to a farm and so I'm being a little picky on what I bring home until I get out there. I don't want to handle stuff 5 times unless it's locust. The farm is along a creek and a couple miles north of a "river", so there'll be tons of trees out there for me.

 

Fer hunting season. Its got a small winch and I use muletape on it. 6 inch thick wall.
And I put a swing on it,, the grand kids raise and lower themselves,, they spend hours.

 

All the firewood i sell is mainly standing dead oak. I have it now at $300 and that's a stacked 6ft wide by 8 feet long by 3 feet high load. So roughly 144 cu feet. Over a cord.
I don't deliver for that price over 20 miles. You figure 40 miles round trip. Over that I have a fuel surcharge. At 7mpg and 4.40 a gallon it adds up.
I don't do this for free.

 

And split,,,

 

Sent from Hoskey hilltop

 

I split about 2/3 so far of what I cut last week.....Hoping to finish it up tomorrow

 

Getting ready for next winter

 

Me too. I started last collecting last Feb. Adding on to what I had left. Just finished bringing home A large Norway maple. 65-70' tall, 32'' DBH, and limb wood included. Waste not, want not.

 

Here's the first haul of the 2 trees I cut today. There is another 4 already down, that I'll buck up and haul home as well. All of them honey locust.

 

Nice Chevy trailer....
I'll probably do similar to my box. Home built frame and axle. That's after I replace the bed on the truck with a flat bed.

 

You pick them big ones up and toss them on top? What cereal you eat?

 

Cut and split some red oak yesterday. 2 face cords/ricks worth.
