Scored 3 pickup loads of free red maple from one of my wifes clients weekend. Then as I was leaving he showed me another pile about the same size of white birch and some black birch. I gotta go back and get that next week. Its only about 5 miles from my house. All the wood was left over from December Ice storm, they just wanted to get rid of it. I'll add to my ever growing stockpile. I have 5 1/2 cords stacked and at least that much more to cut and split.
After I got home, my neighbor came over and asked me if I wanted to use his splitter. Its a home made one but gets the job done. I have been splitting everything by hand w/ super splitter, but throwing aside the knarlier stuff in hopes I can get a splitter. This will do for now as he says I can hang onto it for a week or so.
