Red Oak score and the new shed

[leco]

Picked up a couple pickup loads of this red oak last week:


Didn't have access to my buddy's splitter, but wanted to get it cut into rounds, and in the old shed (which has been leaking). However, the old shed has all my seasoned wood in it:


So, it was time to finish up the new shed, and get the seasoned wood in it:


...and then cut the new red oak into rounds, and get it in the old shed:



Turned out great overall. Will hopefully get the oak split in the next couple of weeks.

Red Oak is some fine firewood.

That's a nice shed. I've built a few kind of like that.. just pallets and some tin roofing.

That's what I hear, and what got me over so quick when I saw the CL post for it.

Thanks. I'm just happy I am not as sore today as I expected to be.

Maybe consider putting a trailer hitch on the back of the old dodge for a travel limiter for the suspension. When the hitch hits the ground, its full. (Just pulling your leg).

Red oak is great stove chow. Its still oak, so takes some time to get it dry, but I love the stuff.

Haha! Made me literally LOL with that one. That's about how it is ;-)

Yes, I am hoping to get it split this weekend or next. Would like to use it next year, so thinking it will need to go in a clear topped shed as well, to get as much sun on it as possible.

Looks like you put BOTH loads in one!

Nope, that is just the 2nd one. Had to go big since a firewood processor showed up to, ready to take the rest. I was happy to let him have all the branching points, but I got as many straight arms as I could. Also, that was just limbs. They had not yet brought down the main trunk.

That must have been a giant tree. You got your share, that's fo sho. Your wood wagon is serving you well.
