Oh! My Ackey, Breakey Heart - It's firewood

I guess after working in the mill all day, the last thing that employee wanted was to go home to make boxes and stuff. So I bet it serves him well as firewood. Nice find and good knowing that you can go back for more when needed.

Good find Karson – My wife works for a door manufacturing company, but they make only commercial doors – most are Poplar frames and Veneer coverings. I rarely get a scrap of anything, but I keep hoping :-)).

If there is about 1 Cord of firewood of Sapele in those crates. That equals about 1500 Bd Ft of wood. One of the web sites is selling Sample Pack of Sapele 20 Bd Ft for 210.00 or $11.00 per bd ft. X 1500 Bd Ft = $16,000 worth of firewood.

I’d probably be willing to buy him a Cord of firewood in trade.

that company is crazy to throw that out. I’m sure there is a secondary market for that stuff. You could offer them 25 cents a bft to carry it off and make a few bucks selling it on ebay or to local woodworker stores.

Oh good, just what you need Karson, more wood (he says enviously). That is an amazing find. You lead a blessed life.

Hi Karson! Go man go!

WOW, nice find. Yikes, firewood! You must have been floored. That will make a ton of toys. I’d love to have some of those thick pieces for my turnings. Perhaps he’ll trade you for some real fire wood. I agree, this would sell great on ebay.

Hi Karson;

You stepped in it again, didn’t you! If it wasn’t for good luck, you’de have no luck at all. You must be living right!

I’ll bet if a rock fell from the sky and hit you in the foot, it would turn out to be gold! LOL

What a great find!!

Holy moly – so this is what 10 years of patience earns you! Looking forward to finding out what happens with the crated wood!

That’s quite a story. So sad that lot will be burnt but such good news that you’ll be saving some. Now, where’s Delaware? Mmmm a little too far! Should make some first class toys Karson.
