Nice job everyone and what kind of wood came on that grapple load in the pic?

[MattyNH]

What do you have to pay for a load that size?

$1500 - $2000 maybe?

I paid $900 for that load of wood

[Jwood]

What kind of wood is it MattyNH?

Theres maple, red and white oak, some white and black birch, little bit of ash

MattyNH - That's a really good price.  I pay about $100.00/cord for log length stuff.  But of course everything up here in the Upper Valley (college towns) cost more than most places in the state.  Roger

I'm hoping to get enough wood from the tree service company, but if that doesn't supply my needs the one logging company I called said 90 per cord for birch and maple and other hardwood and 100 per cord for oak.

Jwood I would try and stay a way from the oak it takes 2 years to dry if you have Beech in your area I would go for that the Btus are close and it will dry in time for the season use a power splitter rock maple, YELLOW Birch  but you can run soft or hard in the BL.  Here in Maine I am paying $120- $130 a cord tree length delivery to me our straight axle trucks bring 8 cord loads the big tractor trailers bring in 12 to 14 and I pay by weight

I called the guy with the tree service company he said he wants to hoard all the wood for now so I'm thinking I will call in a load of paper birch and sugar maple then get a load of oak later that I can split through this summer and let it sit and dry.

You can  request certain species of wood in a grapple?

[Jwood]

I can either get grapple loads of birch and sugar maple or all oak those are the choices they told me when I called to check prices $90 per cord for birch and maple and 100 per cord for oak.

I'm still cutting blown over locust trees from hurricane Hugo.  I've already got enough for next winter stacked up, but will still add to it within the next coming weeks.

[Jwood]

No hurricane blown trees around here thank goodness!

[Hammersquash]

 I am guessing 10 cords unprocessed at the moment.  I am excavating my boiler pad and walkway/service area at the moment and the menacing pile is keeping me always under watch.  I am hoping to start processing in a few weeks once I get the concrete down and boiler sitting pretty.

Post some pictures of your build Hammersquash!

I have been working my wood for next year, hope to have it all by by June this year. I've gotten several loads of cut up pine for free. I love getting cut up wood for nothing.
