I was noodling up some oak rounds and realized that I aught to give the chain a little touch up. Well I thought that I had the appropriate file. So off to the hardware store I go. I noticed a tree company taking down some trees on my way to the store. On the way back I stopped and talked to the guys. They were more than happy to give me the wood. As a matter of fact they asked me to wait while they loaded the Beech onto their truck. Then 2 trucks followed me home (about 6 miles) and dumped in my yard.

Here is a pic of the ends of the Maple looking at my stacks. There is a stack of Oak beyond the last stack in the background that cannot be seen. The Oak that is split and piled was a score from another tree guy. The Oak rounds were 30"+. The split stack is now twice as high as in this picture.

Well I did try to give the job boss some gas money for the trucks. He refused and said that I could give it to the guys if I wanted.
So I gave each driver a 20 spot. Just thought it the nice thing to do. Still I consider that free, $40 for what looks like it will split up to around 2 cords of wood.

Nice. Even came on their truck
Doesn't get much better than that. Did they bring beer and pizza too?

DMX, you did a great thing and those guys will remember you for a long time. Congratulations.
I agree those leaves look like oak but that is probably just a broken branch that got caught on the log because it surely looks like ash to me.
No kidding. I will definitely be a bringin' the splitter to the beech instead of the other way around.
Did you remember to give them your number in case they have wood to drop off in the future? (if not you are kicking yourself right now)
Oh yes I did give them my number. I need to give them a follow up call though. I think that I can still fit 6 or 8 cords on the hill.
