Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[dancan]

Wow I always think of pine as light and fast rotting, never heard of this.

Might vary depending on the species I guess. We have mainly radiata pine (Monterey) here which doesn't last too long once the tree is dead.

Our pines up here are quite rot resistant and long lasting , high in turpentine .

Yes that is very true. And they'll likely all be very valuable walnut trees that are very valuable.

How much will you pay me to remove my highly valuable black walnut? It highly valuable. Valuable.

The one I cleaned up today for a guy that I go to church with definitely wasn't it had been down maybe 2 years? Only spot that wasn't rotten was the very center of the 20+ inch logs. Hauled it to my friend who was burning a big pile of wood anyway. Gonna get some cherry once I get the time to go get it though. Was just helping him out today.

Edit : I guess to be fair though it was definitely a dead standing before it fell cause the trunk was just a million little rotten pieces so who knows how long it has been dead.

My wife gets a call this week from an elderly couple that we've helped out a few times over the years , they had three small trees they wanted cut so I said sure .
Sunny today so over I go , the three grew to 12 but the size didn't lol
The first thing I spotted were the landmines all over the place .

And of course , I stepped on them , several times ,,,, ffs
Yup , big trees lol

It was still a good day , I loaded what I cut there , went over to the scrounged up woodpile and filled the trailer with zoggerwood , fir and spruce , dropped it off to a fella that wanted a load of bonfire wood .
Sure is nice when you can trade what most would snub their nose for heating wood for folding paper and have a very happy customer
He was happy that it wasn't big wood and his small 16" chainsaw would have no troubles cutting it up I told him that it was all cut with a 14" saw so he'll have no issues lol
If I didn't have such a stockpile of an undisclosed amount wood stacked at the secret locations I wouldn't be trading ,,,, but I'm pretty sure I have too much lol
