I got a boatload of firewood yesterday. We saw two oaks that were down but not on the ground - nice and seasoned ready for the buckin'. We bucked 'em and then rolled them to my boat. It was a lot of wood but the boat handled it great! 15 foot skiff with a 25HP motor.

Now there's a way to haul firewood that I've never tried! :msp_thumbsup:

Lots Mo' oak

Got this down yesterday, promised Josh he could chew up the substantial main base of the trunk with his newly ported 084

(up in that thread is the video of Mastermind running that 084 after porting)

Went back this afternoon and bucked it up except for the big chunk at the end, there's at least two trailer loads

did the smaller stuff up to 16 inch with the poulan s25cva, then went to the swedish girl 'Sabor', Husky 365. This is a *very* nice saw...

Stump shot for ya'alls amusement....this is one of the larger trees I have ever done and was using that big heavy echo to fell it. Changed my mind on my "lines" a little once I walked around and looked at it, after that it went smooth..except for that weird colored rot! check it out, right smack dab in the hinge! When I hit it and saw the chips I go "oh crap" but was committed to right there, so just wedged it good and went for it and it went smooth.

big fat chunk I left for Josh to cut on, guessing about 1/3rd cord just in this piece

Here's a shot of the woodshed from the other day. Still need a bit more locust (at back of shed.) I haven't really measured and it's hard to see from the photo, but probably between 3-4 cords. Locust, Maple, and Oak. All split with a Fiskars Super Splitter. Time to start splitting more kindling! It's getting a little chilly here in the mountains.

Zog that "rot" looks a lot like staining from embedded metal from what I see on my little phone. Let us know what you find when you split it.

It's stained plus rot. The tree finished croaking this summer, last leaves went and the little branches fell off. I didn't have the detector with me today but will tote it down and scan the chunks and the stumps when I go to move the rounds. I know I didn't hit any foreign objects.
Most of the old fenceline trees here show obvious external markings from old fence, easy enough to see, but none of these trees down that row have any indication of that, so..I dunno.

There's a LOT of junk in the ground around here, real old farmland everywhere, plus, civil war battlefield.

I have yet to metal detect anything cool though, just old garbage and trash, this farm has been milked dry over the last several decades by pickers. They got all the good stuff.

Jusging by the location of that discoloration, the tree grew right over something metallic, but I ain't digging up that stump, either.
