Looks like it'll work to me. Gotta try one of those... I've read other posts that say they start the bottom with a ring of splits and that the wood is initially tilting in but as it gets higher, they let the ring get flatter and toward the top, the wood is eventually slanting to the outside a little bit. Not sure if that is supposed to shed water better, or what? Tilting in at the bottom would make sense for stability.Not that big but all the wood I had split lets see if it works
You will occasionally read that it's supposed to dry wood in just a few months, but the general consensus is that it's no faster...gonna take wood a couple years to dry, especially Oak, no matter how you stack. Looks cool though. I may try one if I can figure out a fairly flat spot...Ok so this is new to me. Is there any special benefit to stacking this way or is it simply a "" its the way I do it" sort of choice?

As far as laying down plastic, I've read of that being done.

It is a far better alternative then just sitting in a thrown pile. For me it works well. would prefer single stacked rows if I had the space.It doesn't season your wood faster (quite a bit slower). I did an experiment a while back comparing ricks & HH's here:
