First off, I want to thank everyone for their opinions, suggestion and advise while I press my learning curve on log identifications. This site and the people on it are just simply fantastic.
I ended up with a total of 50 logs from the grapple load. It’s all bucked up but not split yet. I will most likely split and stack it at the same time. Here is what I have:
17 Red Oak
3 White Oak
14 Hard Maple
4 Soft Maple
5 Ash
5 Shagbark Hickory
1 Pignut Hickory
1 Cherry
My next decision now is separating my piles by drying times. I will be stacking this wood on pallets in double rows. Here is what I am thinking for combining species related to drying times. Please feel free to change my mind if it doesn’t look right! I’m not sure with a couple of these. How would you seperate them?
From longest to shortest seasoning time.
Pile 1) Red Oaks
Pile 2) White Oak (should I just mix this in with the red oak?)
Pile 3) Hard Maples and Hickories
Pile 4) Soft Maples
Pile 5) Ash and Cherry
Thanks Again,
Bruce
