no polar...a few sticks of maple in there
 
Sweet score.
 
my neighbor 3 doors down had 10 locust trees and 2 cherry trees get uprooted from the rain. the locust rounds are 24 to 30 inches around and are about 80 feet long. really nice wood but sad to see such majestic trees fall victim to the weather/rain.

How big in diameter are the Rounds that you didnt split??? That stuff looks HUGE. Is this pic after you "Split the big stuff?" or before. I see split wood and I also see Logs that appear to be 8"-11" in diameter. I stop about 6".. Over 6" I split it. Just seems like it would take to long to Season if it didnt have a "Face" to release moisture.

Looks great.......
