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, let me look at it, so i followed the store owners brother 2 streets down and i was greeted with a huge pile of maple, already cut to size.......problem is, it was not a dead tree and there is probably 5 cords there, 2 trees cut, the following pics are only from one side of the yard, the other side there isveven more wood than this...
Question, what kind of maple is this? I can have it all but i told him i wont take the branches View attachment 533034View attachment 533035View attachment 533036

Sorry, i wanted to be sure the text portion went through.......but no, i would never make a post about a wood score without my pics to back it up.Would have been nice to post the pictures at the top of the thread. Just reading the first post I thought you were being a smart a$$.
It's Silver Maple. Not as good a score as the Oak.
That looks real pretty to me....I'd be salivating seeing at that Maple, as all you know I absolutely LOVE Maple.....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.....

Im not sure if its hard maple or silver but its all mine if i want it......gotta find someone locally in the Cincinnati, oh area to go in 50/50 and help out, i can not get all this wood loaded by myself, i do have sledge hammers, solitting mauls, steel splitting wedges, a truck, chainsaws, and a 20 ton manual hydraulic wood splitter from harbor freight, i just dont have the manpower to help me.......That looks real pretty to me....I'd be salivating seeing at that Maple, as all you know I absolutely LOVE Maple.....
Nice, Nice score....you deserve one for that find....lol
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....Why can't he find anyone to take the tree down? Nothing spectacular about that one. Unless he's looking for some one to do it free for the wood? I know there are big companies like Davey and Care of Trees out there, but, they do charge big money to take down big dangerous trees. Sooner or later it will come down on it's own, house or no house, Joe.
