Looking for wood to cut in Georgia

[Wolfcsm]

Having moved from Texas to Georgia, I am in need of wood to cut up for firewood. I do this as a hobby - just looking for the wood. Have the saws to cut up almost anything that might be out there and infact if I found a log or tree bigger than 6 foot, I might just have to go out and get a really big saw. Does anyone know of places here or people to see?

Thanks,

Hal

Firewood

The county forester can give you the names of loggers and property owners that need your help . Sometimes the county Ag. agent will know of someone. How about tree service contractors?

Tony,

No offence taken. When I started to work with firewood in Killeen, Texas, I did so because I had a hard time getting a cord of wood that was really a cord of wood. I like being in the wild and cutting and splitting firewood was a natural. In Central Texas, a very large portion of wood that is knocked down for development is burnt in piles and wasted as a resourse. That is where I started. Then I found that if I asked floks were wanting to have dead trees removed. I was able to cut and sell about $8k worth of wood last year. Not too bad for a hobby.

I grew up on Mt Hood, in Oregon, in the 50's and 60's and can remember one log loads comming down the mountain. I left there to get away from all of that, but now 35 years later, I an having fun getting back into the woods and working - even though it is part time.

Figure there are folks out there who can not afford to have a lot of work done but that might be willing to make a trade for the wood.

TreeCo,

I can travel some to do some cutting. Have a 3/4 ton Dodge that I use for wood. Sure would appreciate anything you could point me toward.

Look for loggin companies in the phone book. they always know about tops of trees left over from logging. Also, if you take a Sunday afternoon and just drive around and pull in people's laneways if there is a forest on ther property you can proabably get months worth of cutting from that alone. (It wont be free, but people will let you cut trees for a price).

Not sure how far you want to drive, but I'm about an hour south ATL airport on I-85 -- just bought 10 acres of heavily wooded property that I'll be clearing (not completely, but thinning a great deal) to build on, and you're welcome to come cut some off of it. It is VERY dense right now, but it's well covered with just about every kind of wood you can think of. I've got the dozers coming in within the next few days to clear some paths to start the building, and I just bought my first chain saw (Stihl 025) to try and remove some of the bigger boogers so I'll have room to walk around and ride my ATV - it might be more of a drive than you wanted, and more work than you wanted to do, but you're welcome to come cut as much as you can fit in the truck if you want to.

Might just take you up on that. As you can see below, I have several saws and can cut really big trees, if needed.

Have a truck and a splitter. We can see what we can do.
