had trees cut down on my property

[blacktail]

I had two alders, one douglas fir, and one cedar taken down on my property this week. And they also took a bunch of limbs off a huge maple by my driveway. I split most of the maple tuesday and some of the rounds were 12" thick.
I split the fir and started on the bigger alder this morning. The big alder was on the back part of my property and it's getting stacked right there along the deer trail.

Being out back, I didn't have them remove the brush and chip it, so I'll have to move it to the burn pile.

There's still a lot of alder rounds to work on back there.

Once I'm done with those I'll have to find a place to stack the other alder. I'll get to the cedar sometime and just make kindling bundles.

Nice work - I've been splitting a lot of pine into kindling as well. Cheers!

Hi blacktail, if you stack wood in real shaded areas/woods it will often moss over and rot on you. But if you can get in a position that has a good drying morning sun you can get by, most times

.

You probably already know this by sorry for my babbling but I'm discovering our new forum.

PS pay not attention to that picture.


Edit test

...that is all!

We've been in your area and we are always amazed with all the moss. Do you have problems getting the wood dry?

I got the rest of that alder split this morning while it rained, then hailed. The stack out back from that tree and the small fir is about 2/3 of a cord.
Alder dries fast so this stuff will be ready by next burn season. It's stacked at the top of a hill where it will get plenty of breeze during the summer. And there's no shortage of brush and dead limbs for a Busch Light burn party.
One more alder and a little bit of maple to split, it's just a matter of where to put it. I have a big hole out back where a tree tipped over and the roots pulled out. Once I get that hole all filled in it will make a great spot to stack another cord or so. The cedar can wait as it's not much and will just be kindling. I'm sitting on 4-5 cords already for next year and I figure I've gone through 3.5 or 4 this season.
The alder I have left to split has some hollow rounds that I plan to turn into planters.
