This was worth the gas.

That's an awesome haul. The way ive been building lately (1 or 2 a year) that would last my lifetime!

One of my friends heard about an osage fence post dealer in Cortland Al. He went to the guys place and found a barn full of nice osage fence posts, all sizes.

Everything looked great, prices were cheap, that is until he noticed all the yellow sawdust falling out of the bottom of the "fence posts" everywhere.

Powder post beetles had made sure the fence posts remained fence posts and not bows.

Started splitting the smaller logs for billets, so far so good. Only had a two quaters that will end up as fire wood. Eric Most of the trees were cut in the last month or two, and just under half of them we cut fresh that day, so hopefully I won't have any bug issues, but just to be sure I sprayed them pretty good with some bug and pest spray I had around the house. Hopefully if there are any bugs they don't get past the sap wood.

I actually have another guy I may be looking into getting some logs from, plus my Dad in Missouri has a hunting buddy that let me cut a couple and told me to come back any time and cut all I want, plus he said he would start saving me copper head skins when ever he kills one. So we'll see how everything pans out.
