The free OFC is no good for splitting huh [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

That is a good deal. Tried Craiglist, but I don't have the freetime to run as soon as I see something and I don't live on the southend, so I miss quite a few opportunities.

 

Did you guys know that you can go to the Skagit County DNR and they can give you a permit to get some wood up at like walker valley. I'm not sure how much firewood you can get but the permit is free. My cousin told me about it acouple of weeks ago. Here is the FAQ's on the DNR website.

Q: I make rustic furniture, and I want to know what the laws are about
private citizens collecting wood on state forestland. What would be the
closest permissible place for me to do this?
A: Recreational harvesting is allowed without permit for mushrooms and
berries, as well as limited amounts of some forest products. Commercial
permits are also available for products such as salal and beargrass. To
obtain current harvest opportunities, guidelines and limits, contact the
DNR region office nearest you. Phone numbers and a map of region offices
is located at: www.dnr.wa.gov/base/regions.html.
There are more acres of forests owned by private individuals than owned
by the state. Many industrial forest landowners allow salvaging on their
properties. There is a list of industrial forest owners at the
Washington Forest Protection Association website: www.wfpa.org
<http://www.wfpa.org/> . There are also many small forest landowners who
may be willing to open their lands to salvaging forest products. DNR
works with many of these folks. To view that website, click on:
www.dnr.wa.gov/sflo/
Within DNR's Small Forest Landowner Office website is a link which may
directly offer you an outlet. The link is:
www.dnr.wa.gov/sflo/links/#COOP. It includes links to cooperatives for
crafts and furniture-making.

 

I hear ya,,,,by the time you see the ad,,,there is usually 10-20 people who have already responded.

I got another sweet deal on some seasoned wood in 8' lengths. Now i have to empty the tools from the trailer and tune the saw.

Wood is good!!
