I guess I was celebrating my independence from foreign oil on the 4th of July. It was very hot and humid but I had the day off so I borrowed my neighbor's log splitter. I set up a portable umbrella to stay in shade. I was much easier than the work I did on other wood splitting it by hand. The pictures were taken today.
Most of this is maple from a neighbor's farm. Some was some knotted maple that a tree service left at a friend's house. The maple split really nice except for the knotted pieces.
I still see flames from a fire that I burnt earlier today. We burn all of our paper and cardboard instead of sending it to the landfill. I found a box of old bills and bank statements in the attic earlier this week and burnt them all today.
This was pin oak from last fall. These pieces were too knotted and hard to split by hand. The wood was still very heavy. I'm glad that I can let it get good and dry before I need to burn it.
