My brother stopped by tonight and said they where tearing down some of the trees at the old park. I grabbed my chainsaw and hit the road. We tracked down the contractor and asked if he cared if we grabbed some wood. He said "Take all ya want, we are just going to throw it into a pile and burn it" :eek:
I grabbed the chainsaw and took a pull on it and the darn rope broke ... grrrrr... so we grabbed whatever pieces we could find on the ground and told the contractor we would be back this weekend. He said it will all still be there.
These Box Elder trees are full of burl and what we grabbed tonight is only a small portion of whats there...
Hmmm ... might have to call in sick tomorrow. :D
Two of the big pieces of burl are about 200 lbs each and one thats gotta be 300. The burl grain is beautiful and runs deep into the trunks, with a little red here and there :D
There is also some ash, elm, willow and maple there.
