No lamps from oak. Too coarse is the grain. I occasionally cut some trailer planks with it. We cut down plenty of black walnut; I'd use that first for lamps or furniture. We get an occasional cherry tree, and quite a few red maples, too. Junipers, pecan (rarely), lots of other stuff too. I even took out a beautiful chestnut tree a couple of years ago.
No beech trees.
In fact, I think I have two blown over maples to pick up at a cemetery. There will be plenty of highly figured burl in those trees.
It'll just go to the landfill like the rest.
If'n you guys want some, just let me know. We will load it onto your truck for free.
Oh damn! Is Kansas City too far to drive?
Kansas City grows trees like weeds. Zillions of varieties, they grow fast, but get blown down or rotten all the time.
Nobody scrounges for firewood around here.
1. There aren't that many firewood burners around here. I'm not sure why.
2. If anybody wants firewood, all they have to do is call a tree service and ask for it.
Hell, I would deliver the logs for free if it isn't too far. I generally have to pay somebody for disposal of the logs.
