More free Black Cherry.........Healthy trunk, but the crown doubled into "Y" and one side had no foliage this summer and was pretty dead.
Broke out the 5100s...... easy BTU'S.

Your post reminded me that my dad took down a few cherry trees a few years ago and recently got around to hiring a "port-o-mill" guy who turned out some really nice planks. The logs stood up well as it literally was a few years between cut and mill. Cherry's a great wood and there is a bunch around here. Nice haul you have there.
 
I agree. Cherry is cheery!

Any of those guys work for a share of the wood, or must they be paid cash?

Around here, it's strictly cash. It's a rapidly urbanizling area, and I'm sure they have all the wood they can handle.
 
I have scored a bunch of Cherry this year. It splits very easy and seems to dry pretty quick too. I have about 2 cords for this year and one for next.
 
Cherry is great for smokin pork
 
Looks good! Is that off of your own land?
