Is that Pin Oak?

That be a nice load of wood for sure. Some of those tops can get to be a lot of work and the next one is like walking in to a gold mind.
Nice Pictures... Makes me wish I was there.

Curious, were they just going to leave those tops to rot after they took the logs? That's a lot of good wood to leave behind. Glad you putting it to good use.

I really don't know which oak it was, the leaves were all gone. But knowing the woods it was either red, water, Post or willow. Kinda think it was red oak.

Yes, there is still a ton of tops laying around, but it's very hard to get to when it's wet. all they wanted was the trunks. These tree were very large oaks.

Couldn't just load it to the ground, which it did have a pretty good load. I was digging ruts goin in and out. It was still a little wet. I just got back and everything put up too. it poured about 30 minutes after I finished.

Sounds like someone took a dump. Mebbe you mean "mother lode"?

Even with the heart-rot in some, lots of good oak there.

 

[mainewoods]

Mother load is a play on "mother lode". It was meant to be humorous.

With all that oak being cut, there should be some good mushrooms in that area for the next year or so. Do they see much in the way of the Honey Mushrooms in that area.? Lot of heart-rot in them oaks. Honey Mushrooms are good for that.

I really don't know anything about shrooms except I like them. I see them on rotted wood here but don't know what they are.
