    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Best 2 stroke mix

    Hey, if you can buy Ethanol free fuel where you live, you are lucky and really do not need to buy the true fuel.....ethanol burns hotter and attracts water, thats why its bad on small gas engines, over time, ethanol based fuels will destroy rubber gaskets, seals etc and all sorts of issues over...

    Best 2 stroke mix

    I bought a Husky 440 last fall and love it, i am not mixing anymore....i buy cans of True Fuel, its about $6.50 a can and that is enough for about 2 tank fulls.... There are a lot of benefits to this #1 no more mixing gas /oil. #2 truefuel is PURE gas, and high octane. #3 Truefuel has NO engine...

    Scored some oak

    The problem lies in the fact the tree has half of the limbs spreading out 30 feet over top of the neighbors house, and his plastic back patio roof, and the tree has been hit by lightning years ago, thats what killed it, but most of the limbs are widow makers.... He told me that he has found a...

    Scored some oak

    Got the oak free by helping a friend with downed branches from his dead oak, i just brought my 18 inch saw, but the big potential score came when i went through the drive thru to get a sixet, the guy saw my wood in the back of the truck and asked if i need more for free..... I said no problem...

    Huge red oak up for grabs

    He said the reason it died was because it was hit by lightning, so there must be internal damage to kill a gigantic red oak in this fashion......

    Huge red oak up for grabs

    Cincinnati Ohio area, it would need limbed and it is about 15 feet from a house but there is a good open area to drop.it, my guess is it's 50" in diameter, a mature red oak, bark mostly gone........homeowner has no money except the lumber value itself......I don't have a picture but may be able...

    Huge red oak up for grabs

    He can't afford to have it felled for money but he can give the entire tree away, I saw it, it's huge........I bet there is enough heart wood to make a few folks smile, but my friend would need someone with real pro equipment, not some cheap home owner set up, this tree demands respect

    Huge red oak up for grabs

    It is just sitting there, my estimate I'd at least 65+ feet tall, gigantic diameter, probably 60 inches , northern red oak, recently died, reached maturity, but man, I promised my buddy I would at least try to find someone, this tree is way too good for pulp / firewood etc, it would be great...

    Ash wood is almost impossible to split

    I have a large sweet gum , good thing it's alive and doing good, this wood is so flexible, even a small branch the size of a dime is impossible to break in half by hand, it just bends and it's a bear to saw off branches, I had a bow saw and tried to cut some lower limbs to make it easier to mow...

    Ash wood is almost impossible to split

    Thanks, and yes, these two ash trees were about 30.feet apart in the middle of my front yard, no competition, or I should say very little competition from other trees, so there is some truth to forest verses suburban trees, I saw the growth rings and grain pattern, it's super tight......I heard...
