Some of my wood cutting the past 3 weeks

[Naandme]

Been cutting a 3-4 trailer loads a week for past 3 weeks This should put me 3 to 4 years ahead with my other stacks that are already split. The osage and oak will take time to season up but got plenty of walnut hackberry ash maple black locust and black cherry to burn till it does.

3-4 trailers a week for 3 weeks? Thats all ????

Nice haul, sounds like you are well set for a few years. WTG. (said with stack envy)

Looks like a lot of fun!

One trailer looks like a work out to me. I'm usually good for 2 pick up loads a day - before the aches get to me. I'm usually not lucky enough to get real close to my scrounge and sometimes have to carry it out of the woods.

When it's cold like this, I need to hydrate more - my arms start to get cramps and lock up and I know it's time to quit for the day.

You sure got a great pile of rounds. Some real back breakers there - roll them puppies off!

Nice job Naandme, how much wood do you burn in a heating season on average.

Hey Zap, It of course depends on the Indiana winters sometimes we get lucky and they are mild but on an average 4 to 5 cords a season more on the 5 side due to heating barn, I heat with an older Rohn inside my house and have a Shenandoah in my work shop (pole barn) but I only heat the barn when I work out there 3 to 4 times a week.

Sounds good I can mill on site and share the board foot...36inch or bigger what I really want right now...

Take it easy on your back! That is a lot of bending for splitiing and stacking.

Well done!

To stay on topic that is an awesome amount of fun rounds to split and I am seriously jealous.

Off topic your name Valhalla reminds me of a movie I recently watched two nights in a row as I liked it so much, via netflix online, "Valhalla Rising"

Looks like a nice sized wood hauler there. Does that get really heavy on the tongue? The axles do look like they are set back a lot.

Wood envy
Nice pics, I see some wood in back of the photo, that looks like it's been stacked up along the fence for a while. Nice!
Good job

PS : split those big heavy ones vertical, easier on the back

 

[Naandme]

Yep I try to use the vertical as much as possible and Backwoods, the trailer when its full does have a lot of tongue weight but it holds a nice amount of wood and is pretty easy to load and unload. If we use the tractor loader its real easy to load, then we keep the biggest rounds toward the back to help with tongue weight and we drop the gate and roll those off its not the best system but it works pretty well.

Thanks Chris, New Jersey guy,

Actually, the history of the name Valhalla goes back a very long time. See the link: http://en.wiki.org/wiki/Valhalla

Stay warm and burn wisely!
