Does it have to be split seasoned hard wood ? for your own use or to sell on ? If your looking for something for nothing the onus is on you to source it I fear you will have to put yourself about a bitI'm looking for free firewood in the northeast Ohio area.
You should say looking for firewood in exchange, will remove and clean work area. Willing to work hard to remove unwanted firewood. Some people hate the word, FREE, it means has no value to anyone. Firewood is never free, someone has to pay land taxes, cut it down (gas and saw costs), persons time moving, splitting and stacking. That being said, I took a full cord of seasoned oak to a neighbors house, husband had a stroke. Good Luck in your search.I'm looking for free firewood to but nobody wants to give me any. Go figure.
You may/may not have come to the wrong place /forum As said in other posts & to me your wording was wrong or gave the wrong impression Again as said if you had said you would clear downed trees clear up felled wood or offer other work done in exchange for wood I'm sure others & myself would be more favorable toward helping you In my over 60 years of dealing with wood cutting in most forms I've been screwed on a good few occasions even After promising myself I wouldn't be so I tend to have a somewhat jaundiced view on posts similar to your OP I doubt if folk in similar circumstances would give you the heads up so you could take what they had lined up for themselves Could I sugest your wording has some give as well as take & the replies would be more in your favourClearly, I came to the wrong place.
I was joking. You don't know me that well.You should say looking for firewood in exchange, will remove and clean work area. Willing to work hard to remove unwanted firewood.

To me it was the wording of the OP It gave the impression he wanted wood for free with no effort involved on his part It was maybe his wording (lack of detail) or my reading of it I always go with the adage "There's no such thing as a free lunch or at best only one" Different wording setting out what he was prepared to do would to me have elicited more favorable responseDid somebody get sand in their Vaseline?
The guy came to an arborist forum made up of tree services asking for a load of logs. Is that wrong? Far from it many companies pay to dump or look for closer places to dump so they are glad to drop a load off. We give logs away all the time Friday I ran 4 grapple loads of logs out all for free.
Your best bet is to call around to your local tree services some may deliver some may let you pick up. If delivered you might get odd or ugly stuff some guys hand load trucks some use mini skids others grapple trucks. When I make a load of firewood I only put decent stuff on my truck the ugly goes on the tub grinder pile. But that's me building a load in our yard not a truck getting loaded at a jobsite...
