Just scored a nice scrounge of black locust! It's like the unicorn of wood for scrounging here. Found it on Facebook and arrived to find out the pieces were much larger than I could determine from her posting. Good thing I brought the 285, it made quick work of it. Best part was the guy loaded as I cut. Filled my truck in a hurry. There's some nice straight sections that I'm going to mill. I told them I would cut them a plank. They are going to hold the rest for me. I'll get pictures later.
Usually I scrounge and cut onsite, haul the rounds home and heap them in a pile, split them and huck the splits into another pile. The sun and wind does its work and then I stack under my deck for the winter. This year is so wet that the rounds are super wet and the pile isn't drying fast enough to suit me. So this morning my daughter and I dragged a couple racks out from under the deck and filled them from the pile. Out in the open, it won't take long to dry. Two more racks like this along with what I already have stacked, will fulfill my winter needs. Everything else will be for next year.
Enjoy that acacia! I'm looking forward to burning the stuff i got recently. Split sooooo easily! fiskared and stacked half a cord in 3 hours, that's lightning for me!
Found this few days ago [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

I havent scrounged in months but I been dealing with vehicle problems.
I don't think that picture is of beech (as I know it), and the description says they have to be dropped yet. Buyer beware?
Funny, I did not bother to look. You're spot on. I was just opening up the add Dancan posted because once the add is removed from a site the post ends up worthless. Just guessing it looks like ash off the top of my non expert head.

Awesome. I got the 3/4 wrap and large dawgs for my 562 this spring. Have a 20, 24, and 28" bar for it.Scrounged up 3/4 wrap handle, large spikes and 28" tech light bar for the 562View attachment 589785View attachment 589786 getting closer to the perfect saw
With yours being ported I'm sure it will rip up the western wood really well. I used mine on hardwood with the 28" and it pulled and oiled just fine.
Looks like Ash to me too, Joe.
it's on my truck. what kind? don't know. maybe walnut or ash. sure,bring it over. 
Not really a scrounge but helped my dad on the weekend trimmed the mulberry, cut down a bottle brush tree which was about 1' from his house. Then cut down 4 dead casuarina's, I cut the tops out with my multi tool pole saw last year. Good timing to take down these trees as my dad is in the process of replacing the boundary fence, this one would have taken out the fence.
This one was about Ø20", the 550XP made light work of it with the 16" bar, used 2 tanks to do all the days work...... My dad was very happy with all the help!
Just past the boundary line.
My 4 year old loved that I built him a bridge.

I don't speak from personal experience but casuarinas are supposed to be very good firewood.
