I know everyone likes pictures. I have been working at it and it is starting to get warm around here so for the first time I may have to leave some for fall. I'm not ready to hang up the towel yet though. I do believe I will pass 20 cords with what I have here now. Kind of hard to get good shots because of where everything is sitting with the trees and such around. Just for reference all my split stacks are about 7 ft high.

Pretty good eye Bogy. Very little oak yet to split but lots already split.and yes on all the others. Also some red elm,american elm, lots of ash and a fair amount of hickory but you could not see some of those. The pile of rounds between the pines is 7 or 8 deep. OH and yes I have some locust (shhhh don't tell Scotty)
 
very impressive work!

Very nice and what a difference 100 or so mile makes. You are seeing complete leaf out and we have just started to get leaves to sprout on most trees here in Mid-Michigan.

I also leave some in the round or even 6-8' pieces through the year. I just stack em and let them sit until I fire up the saw and splitter next January. That is, if I am far enough ahead - which you seem to be doing well in that catagory.
