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

[Wood Chopper]

Friend of mine just purchased about 50 acres and is eventually going to put a few houses up. In the mean time he is selling and hauling the sand that he has to get rid of. So before the he clear cuts he is letting us take some wood out. Some of the nicest wood I’ve ever cut. Almost too nice. I had the excavator to use which is like cheating. Lol.

Nice! Some of that needs to go to the mill.

I think much of it will when all is said and done. I just have to get it before he gets in a rush.

I might keep a couple logs to try out milling I’ve been wanting to try it ,might buy a cheap chainsaw mill to make some oak slabs. i’ll figure out something to make with it when they are dry. Lol

Have other racks on location, two full of elm, and one full of cottonwood. No pics of them at this time.

How was that Elm to split. Took an elm down on my property and god was it a snarky string mess.

Couple of years ago I cleared five 1 acre lots for a builder. Lots of good wood, but also lots of crap wood. Gotta takem all when your clearing the lots.
Didn't clear the full acre, but the specific areas that he mapped off.

Yeah got to take it. Took a poplar tree or 2. I’ll burn that next fall. I guess we are meeting on Monday to see which direction he wants to start clearing

Not too bad, I burn about 80-90% elm in the winter, I've found the best time to split it, is in the dead of winter when it's frozen, pops right apart cleanly. In summer it can be more difficult to work with.

Do You want help with that?

Set up a tent and organize a chainsaw GTG, I'd be tempted to attend!

I was thinking about doing that one year Wilhelm good idea

Just for legal purposes in the making of this log pile only Dolmars
Where used for the cutting of these trees

No others brands where harmed or violated in this event

I would take the opportunity and stockpile as much as possible, especially if I had heavy equipment like You do.

I'm a little envious, I have to buy every piece of decent firewood I burn.
The only "free" firewood around here involves a whole lot a work like brush clearing and orchard maintenance.

I am trying to get more friendly with my neighbor who runs his own company for firewood sales and distribution.
My general agenda is to continue getting high quality large diameter firewood logs whenever I place a order.
Through some small talk I came to realize that he is also selling processed firewood (bucked & split) so I am considering to get in on the game as time allows, get more run time on my saws and possibly make some cash on the side.
I took a stack of his business cards which I will hand out to my acquaintances and whoever asks about firewood.
I got him a new customer within 24 hours, just took the cash for the order and the customers info to him.
He said he'll have to repay me by delivering a little extra on my next purchase, we'll see how that goes.

What I kinda don't like is that he pointed me to two for sale ads on Facebook, one for a Dolmar PS-7900 and one for a Dolmar PS-5000 - the PS-5000 is even close enough for personal pickup.

That's because Dolmar's are the only brand that don't break down when You need them the most, all other brands are just for occasional "play" and "cants" . . .

The excavator is the land owners and I would never have asked but he offered. I made sure it was far away from the trees I was cutting.

I am going to get in there every chance I get.
He was away this weekend so I am meeting him tomorrow to see what trees he wants down next. Temps here are starting to come down a little. So go go goooo! Lol


Getting your neighbor business should work out well for you. As far as him feeding your CAD. That’s another scenario all together. [emoji23]

LMAO. Almost like not even working. A couple less heating cycles on the body from that process. [emoji16]

Especially that day it was a 3 T-shirt day. I was fugging drenched it was so humid. I still had a Lyft around into the bucket to make efficient trips back to the trailer but cutting them up in the air like that is dreamy
