The 2 trips net a little over a cord CSS

[bogydave]

Got it split & most all stacked today. Got a little over a cord.
Close to time to for a new permit.
Made the rows a bit longer so next time Jake can see them when he drives by

Biggest round my splitter has split. Well big for me anyway. 22".
Some pics of my fire wood set up, 48' wood shed , splitting & drying area.
New stuff on the 3 pallets, yellow/orangish color when wet & some yet to stack.
Drying/seasoning area - 2 rows just over 4' high on pallets with space between rows.
& of course my view of the MTs.
Clouds just lifted to the peaks. Not much snow left but they got some fresh stuff Wednesday & may get more according to the forecast

That's the squarest round I've ever seen

Boxelder?

That's quite the "mountain" of wood you're amassing, Dave.

 

[Dairyman]

Looks wonderful up there Dave.

 

[Realstone]

Dave, are you gluing rounds together?

 

[PapaDave]

That's the new Shamrock Birch hybrid tree.
It's amazing Dave, when I think back to when you first posted and compare to now.
What a huge difference a bit of time makes, eh? Love your pics.

Thanks
I say the same thing every now & then.
Exponential improvement & still have room to do better
You guys have taught me allot. When I see the above pics to the old pics, WOW!
Disproves the theory "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"

Before: Hand splitting, tarps, wood not off the ground on pallets. No wood shed. &
the worst, was burning some wood that was cut only 2 or 3 months CSS.

That's the squarest round I've ever seen

The trunk was limbless about 20', then at the top 3 big limbs, (as big as many trees I've taken).
I call ones this big, "rollers". They are to heavy for me to lift.
But rolling the "square" was a new experience. It was a big tree for here. A 2 tree trailer load, also a new experience.
Sure splits into a nice big stack of wood.
Heavy & difficult to skid up hill the, logs just over 4' was all I could skid. Though, I kinda like it after it's at home in the splitting area

Best I can do. Got it all stacked & now it's raining on it.

Looks great Dave! Those wood stacks have a better view than most people

 

[Gark]

LOL, noticed the milk crate with a cushion (styrofoam?) on it to avoid "waffle-butt". Hmm, I wonder where else we've seen that on this forum.... Great pics, outstanding stacks and that view --WOW!

Hey zap, we got some rain too. Probably .001" at best...

 

[nate379]

I didn't measure what we got, but it was going hard for 20-30 mins to the point that my gutters where overflowing.
Finished welding some pieces on my splitter and I'll be headed out later today. Have 4 cords I need to deliver by end of this week and then another 7 after that. Just maybe I'll just some wood done for me too?

Just got about an inch. We're not in as bad a shape as y'all south of us. The lawns are brown but the corn is green

It will be a few more years before I get back to visit my brother in law and sister Dave . . . by then you will probably have quadrupled the size of your woodshed and stacks . . . I expect.
