Doh!. Good stacking. It looks like they stood up to the blow.

If they were all that easy.
Neighbor's red oak did that about 10 years ago - 1/3 crown split out right in cutting/ splitting area (~1 cord). It just missed all the landscaping.

Thats oak.. it looks like it just wanted to be burned. Maybe it was looking for a better end than rotting away.. its a sign ...

Had a much larger walnut do that to me in hurricane Sandy. Landed right across my piles, which was actually less convenient than one might imagine.

I was going to say that area looks really snakey. Be careful in there lol

Was it a very valuable black, walnut tree?

A perennial favorite cartoon. This one was actually 60-80 feet of pin-straight trunk, about 20”-24” diameter, so it would’ve made a nice lumber (or even veneer) tree. But it still became firewood.

Mills around here generally won’t touch yard trees. And with only five walnuts on the ground in my yard after that massive storm, they had bigger fish to fry, than my little catch.

I had one fall right on top of my stacks once too, was kind of a pain to get it off to cut it up but I appreciate mother nature trying.
