The first three row shrunk under 4 feet so i took some from the forth row and topped them off. Im only concerned about it until i get a good yearly average since it is easier to calculate cords when its 4 feet high.

Which brings up the point that most folks always state how much wood they have when the wood is measured green and not after it has shrunk. There can be a big difference.
btw, I've never checked the length for shrinkage. May have to check that one out.

Definitely not ash. That's amazing to me that wood can lose volume like that. I would have thought the cells would just hollow out once they lost their moisture.

HJ,
I thought I was doing a OK job, but your stacks could grace a calendar. Beautiful indeed!

That is awesome. What did you use to keep those end posts secure? I'd like to employ something similar on the ends of my stacks, but so far have had to use angled boards connecting from the posts to the base for support.
