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.
