Something tells me you’re not in on the joke. It’s all right, just search YouTube for a highly available black walnut tree and you’ll see a fun little video. I don’t know if you were in on the threads about black walnut. must’ve been a few years ago. And you can keep your Coors light

It’s pretty crazy that people think you’ll come in and do a $3000 job just to get some pieces of walnut.But I guess we wouldn’t have a craigslist laughs thread without them…
"its dried for a few months."
"Great wood, similar to oak."

Gotta love the pricing - by the piece!!
The first line comes to 50 cents / piece.
The second line comes to 40 cents / piece.
The third line comes to 40 cents / piece.
The fourth line comes to 40 cents / piece.
I wonder if he thinks he's fooling anyone? But then again, as stupid as people are these days, they probably think it's more economical to buy 150 pieces than 50 pieces.

That video was (if I recall) made by one of our members here many years ago. A true treasure!
Several decades back we had peacocks (and pea hens) on the farm, so feathers were easy to come by. We learned from a friend that our daughter was selling them at school (second or third grade?). Her price?--10 cents each, two for a quarter. Carmen called us up to say that her son had bought 2 for a quarter.
what is hackberry? hardwood? trash? we do not have it down here!
don't laugh, but that's the type of tree I would go for. If it's down and I can drive my pickup close to it. I like hackberry; burns hot. But I have so much of it now and it doesn't weather very good. Only a couple of years then it gets punky.
It’s not bad. Not huge in BTU’s, but it burns well. Similar to soft maple.
I would go for it as well if I didn’t have an abundance of better wood to burn.
I was laughing at his comments about it.
I’ve had to cut some of those up. I get a lot of wood for free from tree companies and I get what they bring. There’s a lot of noodling to do but the wood burns hot.That being said I avoid it any time I can.
I would be tempted to show up, make a huge mess of wood chips breaking in a refreshed saw then leave LOL
You could put a sign up that says free wood chips.
That's when the 20 lb sledge comes out and a half dozen steel wedges.
Nah!, 70 - 80 cc, long bar, rip it up! When I was a young lad I did the maul & wedge thing, now I'm out of my teens, I know better.
yup, cut it into chunks that are able to be easily loaded then later fed into the splitter. The only time the axe or maul comes out is to drive wedges when running a saw
There’s been times where using a wedge and hammered could split stuff, but I like using my chainsaw. It’s a 60 cc saw , will not do it qas fast as a 440 or 460 but it’s good enough for me.
I'm still not a girly man yet.
Maul & wedges will get ya there earlyer.
