I understand not wanting softwoods.

We do not get termites this far north, except for a few odd areas down by the Port of Milwaukee where the steam tunnels keep it warm year round.

If you can only pick up 20 inch rounds, we may not be able to help you. We do big tree work and there are often larger chunks.

Maybe you and Mike could team up on some of the bigger jobs I let him know about.

The hard maple I mentioned earlier will have some large wood to deal with.
 
The 20 (24??) inch diameter thing is just a guess on my part due to the sheer ability to move them by myself. I do have a landscaper's gate on the trailer to roll logs up, but I'd guess a 24 inch diameter by 18 inch long chunk of wet red oak has to run 250-300#(?).

Naturally, I'm interested in the wood, but I do have limitations I have to work with (or without).

Mike...how to you work with the larger chunks?

Bring your mual, hammer, and wedge. Just split them in half and they get much easier to lift.
 
I let the tree guy load them with a machine into a dumping trailer.:hmm3grin2orange:

When the easy way is not available, then its a dolly and ramps. If the rounds are too big for that, then I rip them with the saw to a managable size.

Percussion tools and my joints disagree vehemtly after about 5 strikes to the wood.:(
 
Most jobs are easy given the right tool and a little knowledge to go along with it. I'm fairly new to processing wood enmass & no doubt have more than a few things to learn. I do know enough to avoid committing to taking wood & then letting someone down by leaving the really large pieces.

If I invest in heavier equipment I'll send up a flare. In the mean time, if I can help anyone out with my existing setup please let me know.

thanks,

SE Michigan for Wood Stove

Washtenaw and surrounding counties.

I've had enough ash to last a lifetime - LOL!!! But I did burn over 25 cord of it last year.

I burned another 17 cord of oak and cherry last winter - it takes a lot of wood to heat rooms with 12 foot ceilings.

I prefer Oak, Hickory, Cherry, etc., but we can discuss any hardwoods, even Ash. No softwoods, please - they plug up my chimney too fast.

I have a medium sized, heavy capacity box trailer, so sectioned pieces work best for me. I can cut the pieces, if need be, and if I do, I go 18 to 22", because that fits my stove, trailer, and wood room better.

PM me your phone number, and I will get back usually within 24 hours.

If you deliver, I buy the beer, coffee, sodas...

Thank you,

SiSafe
