Got a nice little haul the other day. Some folks were cleanin up a campground and had been saving me the "junk" trees. >:D
When I showed up I just had to cut out the pieces I wanted and haul 'em home. Then a buddy stopped by to help me quarter everything.
Now comes the fun part!! Anyone close enough that wants to join in on the debarkin/sealin effort I would be willin to send them home happy! Otherwise, I guess I will have to find a place to store it all... Whoa is me. ::)

Sweet! Looks like some nice straight stuff. How are the rings? I can't tell by the pictures.

the rings are medium- good. Not over thick like some of the better stuff around here. I will try to take a pic of the rings later today.

Very nice piece of recycling. :laugh: I sure wish you guys would find a stash like that closer to me.

Wish i was closer, an flight ticket cost an arm and a leg ! (not to mention having a stave as hand luggage !)

If you want to you can just split them in half then spray them real good and put them in a dry place and you can split them later on. I split all my logs just in half then put them some where dry for six months then split them down to staves. I have better luck with them that way. Less twist less checking ect. Just make sure you seal the ends and spray them with insecticide a couple of times this summer. Dean

Well I already got a third of them debarked. In fact already cut out a worm hole or two as well. They are only quartered so there is still plenty of mass there. I will concede some loss from cracking but with the sap wood still on... Have to see how industrious I am this weekend. Heres a pic of the rings/checking. Need to get some glue on them quickly!!

Wow that is a lot of wood.

That's a great haul and most of the work done for you :laugh:

Excellent haul Scott! Looks like you'll be out of commission on beating rock until you get finished beating that Osage ;)
