What free wood did you find today?

Karl_TN said:
Yes, but sadly I don’t have enough spare time to process another trailer load of wood after getting a load of persimmon wood. There’s always free wood around here, but my wife wants me to develop more will power to say no. I just hate seeing good wood go to waste so I might need to find someone willing to process the wood into turning blocks for an even split.

Thanks. I am getting similar feedback from mine. Got a truck and trailer load of walnut apple and holly to pull from a barn this friday then mulberry walnut cherry and box elder stumps to cut Saturday along with a Calgary pear tree if I have time... not that I dont like the looks of that maple.
 
Hey boss man, I need to go to west TN to go pick up a load of wood - oh, and can I borrow a truck - I've got a welder in the back of mine! Let me ponder on that a while!

I still can't come up with a good story of why I need to look at a non-existant project - 3 hours to the west.

There should be plenty of trees down after that recent storm that tore through Memphis and Nashville. Guess the flooding in Nashville didn’t get to your shop thank goodness.

Hmmmmm - appears an extension to a fishing trip is needing to be planned. Its an hour past fishing - but what the heck.
 
Stopped and talked to a logger today while I was on patrol. They just had loaded a load of walnut logs. Had some shorter pieces they were going to push over the bank he said he'd put to the side for me. Asked about burls, so he's going to keep all he finds and give to me. He said he'd cut a patch about a month ago that was full of cherry burls. Now they're at the bottom of a windrow. Probably gonna be burned. Maple doesn't sell good around here and mineral stained poplar is a defect. He's gonna look for ambrosia maple and get me some mineral stained poplar. Just gotta stop and talk!

Super connection! Hope it pans out! I've made contact with a couple of tree companies, but they've never called me. Chuck
