Is there any market for a log like that? I have a similar diameter Acacia log, 12 ft long, to get rid of. If I put it on Craigslist, "Free log for your sawmill!" - would anyone respond? Doesn't seem likely but with CL anything can happen. ?
Around here someone would take it for firewood. I would. I got several loads of logs a few weeks ago for firewood. Free wood is always good. He loaded it with his tractor and I unloaded it with mine. Well some I dumped on the ground with my trailer and stacked with my tractor.
Some of those look like they may have been logs when they were green; also before they were cut up. Now you are putting them to their best use.
How big is it, and how many knots? Also, is it relatively straight and how long ago was it cut?
Eyeball estimate, about 12 ft x 30 inch diameter. No major knots, a few at 1 inch. Straight.
That located a group 8 miles down the road and another 40 minutes from here.
That's pretty decent of you. I hate seeing something getting composted or burned for firewood if it has a higher, better value.
They would demand you deliver it and get butt hurt when you say "Nope". First person to haul it out of her gets it !!!!!
Yeah Craigslist brings all the loons out to play. Leftover vinyl siding and a 'treasured bicycle' were offered as exchange for a tractor I listed.
Not just Craigslist. I read on article on a news app where some lady posted a free bed on Facebook market place. First person to haul it off gets it.
We used to just place old furniture out on the curb. You look out later, you would see a couple neighbors kids hauling it off down the street.

I have an Acacia table in my gazebo that I bought in Thailand. They make great furniture and can take weather.Eyeball estimate, about 12 ft x 30 inch diameter. No major knots, a few at 1 inch. Straight.
This fell across my entrance on January 7. The neighbor who contracts to operate my apple orchard cut up and shredded most of the debris until he got to the point where he didn't have a chainsaw long enough to take another slice off it.
A photo the day after it fell. All that remains today is the log. My little Yanmars can lift the lighter end of it but I couldn't set it on a trailer, it would have to be winched on.
I was curious if this variety, Acacia, would be considered an exotic for veneer, inlay, or something. There are a few hobby sawmills around here.
Too often they speed up when you could safely pass them; whether because they feel comfortable doing so, or because they just want to be jerks.
That is a too common occurrence, and would be a good place for an LEO to set up with radar.
THEIR curb.Deliver it to the curb
I offered a couple free things on Craigslist and one guy came out to pick up a pile of long cutoff hardwood strips from a cabinet shop. He was a college prof if it matters.
