Our local lumber yard sells their scrap ends of oak for $32/ton, so I just filled the truck up and started chopping. I'm only now getting close to needing another load.

I always loved splitting firewood. Once, I had 4 very large hybrid poplars cut down by the utility company. They left all of the wood in cut rounds for me.

I spent many Saturday mornings processing it into firewood

This is cool: I had a neighbor who could see me from his property working the wood. He told me; “I have a wood splitter that you could use”. Then he says; “It needs run and you be doing me the favor by using it”. What an awesome neighbor.

But I told him that I work a desk job to pay the bills. And manually splitting wood is very enjoyable to me. 😊
