Went and grabbed some firewood for the year. Cherry slab wood, 5 bundles, 3-4000lbs a piece. Bundles are 4-5 feet in diameter, and 11-13 feet long. About 140 miles away. Already have 4 of the bundles cut and stacked in the basement. Was a LONG drive home, with most hills at 30-40 mph. Deuce ran without a hitch, and the M108 made easy work of moving the wood.

Stretch, where did you get the wood? I was going to get some around here for $8.00 a bundle. Years ago they delivered it for free, then charged a delivery fee, now you have to pay for it.

Out here in northern AZ. We use cherry for fine furniture and cabinets. Your lucky to find a Cherry tree at a green house, its 1 to 2 inches around and $40.00 a pop! We burn Juniper, Pine, Cottonwood and Mesquite if Your really lucky You get Oak. Even in the desert Oak takes a year or more to cure out.

Slacker?!? Man, don't go to work and I'm a slacker....

The wood does end up in furniture, I just get the slabs. Did find a 4x6 piece of cherry 10 foot long in the pile. Judging by the slabs, some of the trees were huge. Little bit of walnut mixed in.

It's 10 a bundle, which is one of the reasons it's 140 mile trip. Lot of sawmills closer, but the wood is soft wood, and very fresh. This stuff was about 2 months old, and pretty dry. Located near the 70/77 interchange, I can't even remember the name of the town. Amish guy, way back a dirt road, lot of sawmills in that area. Only reason I knew the place was a friend has a cabin on the same road.
