Made some progress this afternoon on moving my pallet stacking area. Yards a bit of a swamp up in that area.

briantutt, I was at an auction a couple of weeks ago and they had 3 pieces of Basswood up for sale, 1 piece about 4x6x 60" long, 1 piece 4x10x 36" and a piece about 6x6x 12" long. It went for about 75 bucks plus taxes, I was quite surprised about it's value. The guy that bought it was standing beside me and said he would have paid double that. He's a small boat builder so not really sure what he would make out of it the other bidder was going to carve with the wood. It might not be worth much where you are but it doesn't hurt to do a bit of online checking or put a quick ad on a local buy and sell site.

I do know wood carvers like it. Maybe i will set the nice big straight piece to the side, it surprisingly is not at all rotten. Almost all basswood I cut down is rotting on the inside but this piece is real clean.

I like ur steel burn circle. did u make it? find it? or? I see in one of ur pix u had smoke coming out of it... I always try to have a 'burn fire' going when ever I am splitting wood, using the split stick's chips, etc. I had one going this afternoon, but wasn't splitting, just fall chores. I like the aroma and aura of the oak smoke... feeds the soul in my pioneer spirit! ;) did have this one going other day while splitting oak...

Thank you, the fire pit was made from some scrap stainless steel that my buddy ran through the rollers at work. Originally planned to do brick or stone around it but I really like the colors the stainless turns from the heat.

I noted your firewood rack with the metal end holders. caught my attention.

recently... a neighbor had reason to give up the wood rack left behind at her house. turns out it was full of pecan. great for smoking. said I could have the 'firewood'... I went to look, and this firewood rack was there, said I could have it, as well. :) free smoking firewood and a firewood rack... now, that is what I call a great scrounge... actually a gimme! lol:rock:

here is a pix of my rack, similar to yours... and the firewood, which included a couple of pecan chunks...

If you start getting rich off it holler. I have about 60 of them big dogs I can cut down! LOL! Did a quick drive by last winter and thought I hit the mother load until I walked in and realized it was all bass wood and not ash. Been waiting for them to get the culvert in so I can cherry pick the sugar maple out of there and hope one of the camp fire guys comes and cuts all the basswood for me.

I have about ten of the pipe ends that slip on 2X4's. I have 12 foot 2X4's and made a rack to store them on as I empty them. My ends knock apat and fit in a plastic tub with snap on top. Makes storing them neat and easy.

I split here on my place, do majority of the bucking here or at the golf course. More fun tools to use there of course.

LOL no! I am just a guy with regular job. The wood i get on weekends when I can. All of this is coming from my parents neighbors yard he wants cleared. So i am trying my best to take advantage of that and get ahead a year or two for once in my life. I would love to have dry wood.
