Today's Scrounge--post the free btu's

Any smell to it?

Nothing really noticable. Haven't split it yet and it's frozen, so that might keep the scent down.

OK thought it might be sassafras, but it deff has a noticeable scent. Doesn't look like most common hardwoods. If that's all the larger the tree got, it might be a lesser known understory tree.

today's work. 2 hours worth anyways. Half of the trailer load from above !

Is the wood yellow? Hard to tell from the pics. And did it come from a fence line?

It didn't come from a fence line. It was a large tree, I just took some of the smaller logs sure to lack of a trailer. I think it's all limb wood of that helps. The wood is white.
Here's one more picture, I can get summer better ones in the morning.

Gonna have to say some sorta pine based on that pic.

I think you are right. Looking up pictures of willow bark, it looks similar to the trunk pieces that were in the pile.

 

[Dobish]

if it isn't sticky, and splits pretty straight, it is probably willow. it will dry out really fast, and will be good for shoulder season or quick hot fires.

The result of 3 truck loads I scored from a Craigslist ad. Red Oak, White Oak, Cherry, Beech and a little bit of Poplar for fire starter. The stack in the rear is a tad over 6' tall and 12' long.

Very nice mix of wood there.

picked up about a weekend's worth of cedar this morning. worth the 12 minute drive i would say.

there is a huge downed tree in the parking lot of a trailhead that I have been eyeing. It has been dead for at least 4 years, and it finally collapsed in the last windstorm. I am thinking i may just pull in there and start cutting...

Bustin' up some recent roaside Asplundh, came across some BRIGHT yellow meat.
The wife sez it's a mineral getting sucked up the roots, and I haven't a clue.
It's actually brighter than in the pics. Yes, just for giggles, split the bowling ball too.

Added this white split ash for contrast, and more waiting for the scroungemobile....

I'm appreciating an ID on the yellow wood, and what's in the truck in pic 6.

Thanx fellas,
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeap

PS the roadside pic is an ash and a something with very deep crisscross bark, not the yellow cedarlike substance.

Stuff in pic #1 looks a lot like cedar to me.

 

[Dobish]

yep, looks like a cedar to me...

 

[Dobish]

It's a little punky on the inside... But it split real easy

 

[CheapBassTurd]

Still, ya can't beat the price.

i just got an alert for a bunch of free ash, so I left work to go get it. It wasn't there, then I see another alert.... same guy decided he was going to charge $50 for his pile of ash wood and decided to move the whole pile and cover it so nobody would take it.

I was going to throw him some cash for the free wood, but after he pulled the bait and switch, I wasn't going to pay $50 for it....

 

[FaithfulWoodsman]

Pile o' scrounge. Mix of ash, hedge and elm. Prob about 1/3 cord maybe.

Small load of soft maple today. On my way home from work last night I saw some trees on the side of the road so I went by on my errands this morning. I didn't even bring a saw. There was three other trucks there so I went down the road a bit. I found some 4-5' long pieces that I flipped into the truck. Mostly silver maple but one piece is a 4" white oak limb.

 

[Rangerbait]

Do you guys ever just drive up to someone's house and ask if you can take care of some of their downed trees? There are a TON of trees in people's yards on my way to work...very tempting to go ring a doorbell or two.

Got another pickup load from Craigslist:







I want to say black walnut, but I'll differ to the experts.
