Never too hot for a score on the way home from work

[SolarAndWood]

I've been slacking on splitting but can't turn down an offer from a friendly tree guy. I had the pleasure of driving home and unloading under a blazing sunset after a somewhat stormy day.

ID anyone? Two trees I think. First pic of much lighter round than 2nd and 3rd pics.

Nice sore solar what type of wood is it? Solar the storm missed us except alot of rain, we did come through Potsdam N.Y. and got hit with some hail when it first started.

Potsdam had 3 inches of rain real quick.

We had hail downtown but it spared our tomatoes thankfully. Not sure on the wood, the leaves and branches are always gone before he calls me and all I know is the one variety was a lot heavier rolling/sliding down to the trailer than the other. And it was hot and sticky in the city.

It all apears to be the same tree Maple.

Limb vs trunk make that much of a weight difference? The stuff that looked like the 1st pic was cake compared to the other. I could only get 2 wide of the trunk in the trailer so pushin 30" diameter.

Trunk close to the butt end can be very differnt in weight. (in a tree that size)

Is that real density difference or just water?

more density Thats why people want root balls for. I think bowls and turning wood. You can get a lot of wood that will curl really bad around the butt and can make stumping very difficult. (30-35+)

Solar do you have to cut down this wood to the correct length?

[SolarAndWood]

lol, the correct length is whatever the tree guy cuts it to. One of the downsides of urban scrounging. Another is that I rarely get to use my saws any more. I should trade one of them for a log lift for the splitter.

Whats the biggest the BK takes?

I generally don't cut anything that fits on the splitter which is 24". I prefer to go NS but I've got enough 6" chunks to burn as it is. That big square firebox is pretty accommodating to all the random stuff I toss in it.
