found this one CL Tulsa

Bring by your cut dry wood, and use my gas wood splitter to split it(here at my house). I provide the fuel and splitter and will help as much as I can(my arm is in a sling).......my fee is some of your wood. If interested, let me know how much wood you are wanting to split, and how much you are offering to use my splitter. Splitter is NOT for sale.

Found this one today while checking up on some competitors. He is selling a cord of seasoned oak split and delivered for 100.00. I asked him if he just threw it in the truck it in the truck, or if he measured it, explaining that a cord wont fit in a standard truck bed. His response

"yes i still have fire wood and yes a full cord will fit in a 5 foot wide by 6 foot long by 4 foot high bed i now have a 7.7 foot wide by 8.7 foot long by 4 foot high flat bed i put wood in and yes its all split i have been doing this for years half a truck load is $100 and $ 200 for a full load thats in the flat bed and we do measure the wood so everyone gets the same amount thank you or asking"

May have a go at it and see how it pans out, I could turn around in an hour and make 200.00 out of it if its truly a cord. Highly doubt it though

"i now have a 7.7 foot wide by 8.7 foot long by 4 foot high flat bed i put wood in ..."

I'm a little confused as to how a flat bed could be 4 feet high... Yes, I know that you put stake sides on but still...

The guy seems more than a little illiterate what with the runon sentences and no punctuation.

[kgreer]

the pointy end is a bit close to some sensitive body parts......hate to have them 'split'

Yeah, you'd really be "screwed" then!

 

[banshee67]

If it isn't painted, pressure treated, or plywood, and it's dry, it's got firewood potential. I remodeled my 90 year old house - lots of old lath went into the kindling pile.

Notice that the operator of the screw is only using his left hand while his right hand appears to be bandaged up under his blue jump suit. That's why he gives the wood an assist with his crotch, as a substitute for his right hand. Maybe his right hand had an accident yesterday while splitting wood? Replace your right hand with your ####? I think not.

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

Uh, wouldn't that be "brandishing"??

I think somebody might get arrested over this. Cops take unholstered weapons very seriously!

Even easy chairs!
