Thread: a lot of trees to cut up

    a lot of trees to cut up

    I have been off line, and out of power for 6 days now. An ice storm kit us January 12 and boy it was a dandy. Power lines where down and power poles snapped like tooth picks. It looks like a tornado went through and took the tops out of all the trees. I have 6 broiler houses and 100 head of cows and it kept me busy trying to keep everything going. It is too bad that a bunch of you guys don't live close to me. I could supply you with alot of wood. I have 160 acres and trees are down everywhere. Most of them are walnut, oak and sycamore. Well I off with my chain saw to see what I can gather up.

    If you can ship I can receive!!!!
    I would maybe even pay for it !
    Really let me know about shipping.

    Same thing here except that a lot of what is down here is elm. Anyone turn elm before?
    Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

    I am in southwest Missouri 30 miles east and south of Joplin. I have some walnut limbs that are about 6 inches. Can I use them for something?

    Gary I hollow those 6 incher out and make birdhouses out of them to hang around outside. I turn the body and bottom plus the top. They are a ball to make. I have a buddy who just retired in Webb City, Mo. He worked for the FAA in Joplin. Boy I would give my eye teeth for a couple of hunks of that walnut or Sycamore. I have tried to buy some off ebay but buying it and then shipping on top just kills ya.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
