I think I can get a few more on there!
One more row and I will have reached this summer's wood-cutting goal!

Another summer of making firewood is coming to an end.

Quads, it won't be long and you will be starting your winter season cutting. I know you avoid it when the hunters are out. By the way, didn't Dennis ever teach you that cross stacking trick on the ends? I guess you prefer wood pyramids. :coolsmile:
It was the last load of the day, no split left behind!
Winter season cutting starts the first week of December. Bow deer season starts in September, a few weeks from now, and then I don't go in the woods again until the Monday after Thanksgiving. I don't cross stack the ends because I can't get it to work. Tried it a couple times, cross stacked ends fell over, and then it looked just like my pyramids all over again. So, I decided that for me to learn how to do that without it tipping over regardless takes too much time away from all my other chores! HA! Gave up on it, can't teach an old dog like me new tricks!

Okay quads, I'll teach you how to build the wood piles if you'll teach me how to load a trailer like that. :lol:
Looks like you've had a nice summer's work.

Dang quads even the milk crate has wood in it! Looks like you've had a productive summer. Although i see a garden hose stretched out and some wet stacks. Seasoned wood burning to hot for ya? :cheese:
I can just barely get that trailer load in my old Jeep Comanche pickup. I don't stack it in the truck, it won't handle it. The little trailer will actually haul more weight than the pickup! I normally don't haul even that much in the pickup. That's about $40 worth of wood on the trailer and I only haul $25 at a time in the pickup.
Nope, that's not pignut hickory. I don't think I have ever seen one of those. The trailer is full of white oak and the stacks have mostly black oak, except the row nearest the camera, which is also white oak.
I normally don't put any in the milk crate (even hollered at Mrs. Quads once when she tried to do it), but like I said, last load of the day and anything goes! My firewood is way too dry so I took the hose to it! HAHA!
It's a deal Dennis!

Red/Black Oak is pinkish red or reddish brown.White & Bur Oak is light tannish to dark brown.Plus it weighs about 10% more,is a little harder with smaller pores & finer texture.The bark is different among the 4 species also.Rarely more than 1/2 of the various oaks I cut has any bark,its usually dead on the ground for several yrs or a standing snag.

Yup, I made it back and never lost a single split. Finished up my last row this morning, have reached my goal for the summer! Now anything I cut will be a bonus, but will also have to be stacked in the woods because I am out of room in the yard again. At least until sales pick up again this Fall.....

Nice job quads, if you have time I need some help building a cabin.
zap
Sure Zap, I'd be happy to help you! I have to warn you though, my carpentry skills are not very good and the cabin would most likely tip over like some of my 'too tall pyramids of firewood'! HAHA! But maybe I could hand you the nails or something.....zapny said:
