Splitting/Stacking done (Pics)

[bogydave]

Weather was dry again to day. Got the last of it split & stacked.
A little over 5 cords.
No mountains today, 33°, clouds but no snow
Will get a better pic on a sunny day.

WHEW!
I got some stuff split today, but not that much.
Are you done now? For this year, I mean.

 

[JOHN BOY]

Very nice Dave. Looks great.

Well. Good question. Are we ever done?
This finishes of 14/15 & a big start on 15/16.
If the weather holds, I'll see if I can get 3 more cords. Then, 15/16 would be done too.
I'm just getting to not feel so sore. Working the soreness out feels good.

Nice work bogydave. How often do you crossbrace?

 

[farmer]

that is alot of wood, so that is why your saw needs a new chain.

 

[PapaDave]

I'm just about at the same point, Dave.
Working up an Oak that should net about 1/2 cord, and a bunch of Maple that I won't be done with until the snow gets too bad.
Of course, when I get the new stove, this could end up being 16-17 wood.

Dave, your an animal. I'm going to start calling you beaver dave instead. Again awesome stacks. Hopefully the moose and bear dont use those stacks as back scratchers. Be well

Thanks
Every 4 to 5 pallets, 16' roughly.

Yep
Wish I'd have kept track how much wood I cut with it.
Had some scrounges & help neighbor do some cutting, with the same chain.
8 - 10 cords sound about right for 1 chain?

After seeing such fine work as you have here, it makes me want to give up my passion for wood and maybe take up stamp collecting! Those stacks are something to be proud of!

 

[Blue2ndaries]

Simply awesome Dave...a lot of hard work that will definitely pay off.

 

[schlot]

Wow. I think I'm beginning to have wood envy issues.

 

[TimJ]

how long are those stacks Dave ?

 

[Beer Belly]

HOLY CRAP !...my back hurts just lookin' at that....great job....that would of taken my a couple of weekends and at least a 30 pack

No. You should get much more than that. I'll see if I got the record on when I put the last chain on but it was a long time ago and we cut usually 5-6 cord or more per year.

Wow Dave very impressive and NEAT wood stacks!

bsj, Looks like the lawn mower is done for the year, and I had to mow this evening, 76 deg. at 4:30 today.
And Dave, you sure you don't use a brick mason's string !

I think the dirt dulls it & maybe I'm filing too much when I sharpen it.
I sharpen it after each trip.
I find the worst tooth, file it sharp the hit all the others with the same # of file stokes.
Have been a few rock hits on this one, had to take a bunch off to get it sharp & close to even

bsj: Niece is hear from Fairbanks, said they got 3 days of snow. I bet her plce looks like yours WINTER!

Nice shed, you can still fill it, sublimation will evaporate the snow off the wood in a few days

Todd, the row is crocked as a dogs hind leg. Picture just makes it look straight,
I use a 3 iron to get it straight, I slice 3 irons

25° & clear here at 9 PM

You would get a kick out of my drive, Im all left handed and a natural hook to go with it.
My dad worked the pipeline up there that was back in the mid 70's, I remember him saying you could read a paper outside 24 hrs. a day cause of the northern lights time of year, and working in 70 below temps with the wind chill factor. Makes one think you could freeze dry wood. lol. I have all his photos from up there, lots of wilderness and wild life pics. Always thought I would enjoy to come up there, wanted to try my luck at one of them dog sleds,( thought # 2 ) wonder how much wood you could hull on the sled ???
Thanks for the pics Dave, and from all our Northern Friends ! they are enjoyable to view

 

[Gasifier]

Wow Dave. Nice work. Time to relax a little and just look at it for a while. Nice feeling to see all that.

The pictures are a reminder to us folks in the lower 48 that winter is not too far away.
