How does that not tilt over! Impressive. But seriously...how do you keep those long single stacks from falling over
Use a level on your support base,in this case treated 4x4's and cinder blocks,lean stacks slightly to rear,so far this has worked,stacks are four and a half feet max.

Nice work! 
Looks like maybe some Maple on the near end, and I think I might see some White Ash bark...what other woods have you got in that stack?
I'd imagine that if the ground is compacted pretty well where a guy stacks, stack crashes are pretty rare if you keep 'em about 4' high. My stacks tend to be a bit into the woods so the ground is softer and the blocks can settle a bit. I use pallets on concrete blocks, and started laying the pallets with the 2x4s running perpendicular to the rows (three rows wide.) This stack is at my SIL's. It's along the edge of the drive so the ground is pretty stable. This one has Sassafras logs on either side, with blocks down the center.
