Nice pile of wood. I got a bunch of flood killed ash and oak from Milford Lake, about 4 1/2 cords.
Let’s see those firewood stacks! Anyone heard of MeWe?

I got a bit from some crews taking down trees this weekend. They said the wood's for whoever wants to stop and grab it so . . . free wood! I got better rounds yesterday but I didn't want to get in the guys way today so I'll just grab more tomorrow. Unfortunately I got it home today only to find my Stihl won't start, my Husky is out of gas, I am all out of 2 stroke mix and every single one of my wedges have disappeared. So tomorrow I make a run into town and buy more wedges, 2 stroke mix and maybe a pulpwood hook or log tong. Maybe I'll finally buy one of them Fiskars mauls too. Is the Timber Tuff stuff worth buying or a waste of money?
ETA: Oh yeah, almost forgot I'm on MeWe. I put in an app to the chainsaw group, see you there.

Nice setups guys, I'm really impressed. Very neat and functional. Im posting some readyrack shelving that I erected due to my small space when taking on firewood as one of my businesses. It held 10 bush cords. I only filled it once and sold it in bulk to a garden store before getting an outdoor lot across the street where I use IBC totes for seasoning.

Thank you but unfortunately it was on the south side of my work area. My single storey business unit runs north-south on the far side of the shelf. I'm my new space, I can get a row of crates blocking the north winds but the west winds can come in through my access to the yard so no significant wind breaks. I don't like working in the wind, too much sawdust in the eyes and just unsettling even when not cutting

Public land inside the Milford State Park itself, paved roads all the way to the stump. The absolute easiest firewood scrounge I've ever been a part of. Park maintenance staff felled the trees, oak, ash, many up to 34" in diameter. There was a handful of hickory also, mostly 12"-14" in diameter. All I had to do was buck it up, quarter the larger pieces and load it up, helps I only live a little over a mile from the park entrance. The felling began late Oct. early Nov.

Nice! I never seem to find deals like that. Milford probably isn't that much further than I drive now to get wood.
This last Ash I got was 28" on the narrow side and 31" on the wide side and 30' to the first fork.
It was like locust on a bean field, its gone now, they have been burning tops and are about done with that, preparing for the upcoming camping season.

Do they announce that the wood will be available? I'm sure they don't let to many people know or else even more will show up.
No they didn’t publicly, i knew a fella that worked there and he gave me a heads up. I did read awhile back that the Corp of Engineers was allowing some cutting at Kanopolis, more flood killed timber, don’t know the details though.
