Nah that’s pulp got to love an old snow break on a ridge, amazing the size of that stand on a good site. What you guys send for pulp and what we can send are completely different things, basically if it can go through a debarker and chipper it’s pulp.

We have that market for hardwood. For softwood it comes and goes. Right now nothing is selling well.

I hauled 2 more loads of wood. That’s the last of the wood from this clearing job. IMG_8776.JPG

Now that is big!

I saw this ad from a guy, he had to have this old Maple taken down, he was just trying to get rid of it. It would get punky way before he could burn it all, so I borrowed a neighbor's dump trailer and went and picked up some. He loaded it into the trailer with his excavator. I got home and had to cut each into 2 rounds as they were about 3 feet long. I pick them up with the forks and send them through the splitter this way. Seemed to be easier to deal with as I slide them on the forks back into the bucket for the next pass. Eventually they get small enough to stack in the crates. Yeah they are not the easiest to deal with, so I only work up one every so often.
It sure does burn nice and I still have a couple pieces left for next year. I was toying with cutting a round off this one for a table.

These are like 37" or 38", I'm thinking. Each one took me a half hour or more to split. I think it was 4pcs to heap-fill an IBC tote. That tree filled 8 totes.

Yes, 45 years ago a 16" tree slipped back off the stump and on my steel toe boot. I had to cut a 4' block off and jump back at the same time, the back cut was lower then the front cut, lesson learned and not forgotten.
