This is the Beech I cut in the winter then a few trees this spring, also in the stack is some ash and sugar maple. That stack is four feet high,sixteen feet long and the splits are 14.75 long.

I still have some Sugar Maple & Beech left from the winter that needs splitting and stacking. After that is done the cherry will be stacked behind the beech.

Maxed_out, we sold over four cord. If we didn't have all that beech & sugar maple sitting on the ground then I would have never sold it. That nice cherry blowdown will fill the rest of this stacking area.


The wood we sold was nice but I think this will be better btu wood. The beech here start to get hollow at a certain size, we have three beech standing that need to come down. :zip:

Thanks bogydave. I'm sure they love them, the beech do not always produce nuts from what I've seen. After all this rain in the spring thru the start of fall it will be interesting to see if they do produce beech nuts this year.

Love burning beech.I save mine for dead of winter.Have a big one to clean up that snapped in half at my parents woodlot
 
Man I wish you were my neighbor. The wife says I have a wood fetish and my neighbor calls me a wood whore. My 3 cords would look invisible compared to yours. Got 2 cords coming next week, stocking up for next year.

If you see pictures of me cutting wood this winter, wOOd that make me a bigger wood whore? It. all started in the summer of 2008 when we had a micro burst hit in this area. Keep on the wood supply when you can.

n3pro, how did you come through all the flooding in PA.

Looks real good Zap, as usual. But.......cutting wood within 1/4 inch is getting a tad anal ole' boy! ;-P Cheers!

I've taken a nibble out of Beech nuts just as they start to fall. And the wood makes for a good burn!

wood spliter, the previous owner when he was a kid use to go back and gather beechnuts for his mom. I'll be back in milling tomorrow, after I'll head to the area that has a few beech, I'm not sure when they start dropping but I'll check.

I have a big problem Solar, some of those beech need to come down so the smaller ones can grow. :mad:

Zap, leave those beech nuts alone. The deer love them and it will help put some fat on them for winter.

btw Zap, when are you going to get rid of those ugly t-posts? :lol:

I had the logger take all of those big hollow Beech out of the woods 5 years ago. They didn't come down pretty, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that. Need to go through and thin out all the smaller ones with the fungus now.

I think they work great, only had two blowouts in three years and that happened in the winter on the stacks we were using.
