Nice. I am needing a fourth bin as I was given 2-3 cord from a local lot clearing. Score!

Tomorrow I'll go see if mother nature put anything across the trails over the winter, hopefully it put these two beech down, both were damaged by wind last December along with a bunch I c/s/s before winter hit.
Until today we still had certain hills that I use with snow and ice on them, the warmer weather with the rain took care of that today.

I started getting more pine up, we have six face cord up and added to this stack that holds another two face cord.
Our shoulder season stacking area holds 12 face cord, I'm hoping this second area is full by the end of May.

This was the small load of maple from yesterday.
I'll finish the far end of this pine stack tomorrow, that will give us eight face cord up when it's done with room for just under four face left.
Today I moved a face cord of seasoned ironwood to an area we keep our better firewood for the colder months , that will give us two face ready for the 2022 - 23 heating season.
Since that opened up an area, I hauled the splitter over to some beech and ironwood I hauled out last December after we received some strong winds, after stacking what beech I split, I moved more beech from that same wind event out of the woods (stacked on pallets last December) and stacked that.
That gives us 51 face cord stacked.

I felled two ash today and bucked up both, it's a start.
I'm excited! Home for a couple of weeks and walked the woods by the older couple from church this afternoon. Good haul of beech, maple, ash and an ironwood or two for me to start on tomorrow before the rain hits Tuesday... Never had ironwood before, but have seen others report how good it is.
Trailer is mostly beech, truck is mostly ironwood. Holy cow that ironwood is hard and heavy! All cut to length now, will start splitting tomorrow.

My tree guy dropped a load of chunks off that wouldn’t fit in his dumpster. He’s a one man show with just a single axle trailer. He got this job finished up well after quitting time in a Saturday.
He said he’s about to get a dump trailer. That might be more wood than I could handle.
All yellow pine. Will be 15% by December.

I did get the ash split today, we finally had a real nice day.
The two uprooted maple I'll get first and then the cherry, last will be the hemlock and the bigtooth aspen.
I bucked up most of the lower maple and then rolled it down the hill, I'll take a bigger saw with me next time.

Getting set up to mill some more poplar. What ever doesn’t get milled will be firewood if I have the energy. Might try for a table and a some thinner for some door panels.

I hadn't been back in on the trails since the windstorm we had so today was spent clearing branches off the trails and a dead hemlock. After that was done I started up on the maple again, I hadn't used the Stihl 390 in almost a year so I used that today with a 20 inch bar. All the rounds cut today are down the hill with the other rounds.
I usually would limb it up and buck it up from the top down but certain parts of the top were up higher then I like to cut so I cut it back further. It worked out pretty good, the weight of the top kept the area I was cutting off the ground.

Couple of weeks ago we took down three pines, one dead and two smaller ones that were in the way. Bucked them up yesterday with my new log lifter.
These are the two Ash I felled, the first picture was from yesterday and the second is from today. Most of both trees are bucked up and down the hill, I'll have some cleanup that I'll need to do before I can buck up the rest.
