I know what you mean. It was such a beautiful day, I couldn't resist.Looks good Chief I recognize those big pieces of ash from your last weekend work. I had good wood hauling weekend. Big load y-day and usually don't do much on Sunday but just couldn't resist hauled about 3/4 of another load late this afternoon of mostly sugar maple.
Thanks Zap. Despite the fact that I have burned wood for 40 years, I have learned a lot on this forum, and changed because of it. But I have always stacked that way............I think that is the only reason Dennis likes meNice work Chief, those stacks look very familiar. I swear that Sav is giving lessons on stacking, and he brought me T-Post!
Thanks. Actually, I cut by eyeball and my splits vary a lot. But when I stack, I stack with all the outer edges of the splits even......gives the illusion of perfectly cut to length splits.Good looking stacks Chief! You sure get the size consistant.
HDR, I found it was a little flimsy when I got it, so I lined the bottom and sides with old AL signs cut to fit and pop riveted in. Made her hell for stout.Cool buggy , I just got one like that . What did U use to line the inside and how did U attach it
Yes, the yellow is the hedge. BL is a much paler yellow. It turns a beautiful rusty brown when exposed to the sun.I assume the yellow is the hedge? never seen wood that color around here, locust can be almost orange but thats really yellow.
Split them in half first, then again if they are to big, and then start making splits. I like square splits rather than triangles, so that's how I go at it.That's amazing the diameter of some of those logs! That must be challenging to split I would think. Is there a particular pattern to follow when splitting larger pieces like that?
Dennis, I don't think I could teach you much. But the big stuff does let you split some nice square stuff for ends. Seems like big stuff is all I ever get. Sometimes I wish I could get some nice straight 8 -12 in. stuff like so many on here have tons of. It sure would be a lot easier to handle.Nice work Steve. Those ends are beautiful. Perhaps some day you can teach me how to do it better?! Not sure how you always luck out and get the big stuff but it does save a lot of time. You are forgiven on the splitting and we're still friends no matter what!
I believe his secret is to use a micrometer.Nice work Steve. Those ends are beautiful. Perhaps some day you can teach me how to do it better?!
I'll finish stacking for the Winter on March 20; Then I start on the Spring stacking...of wood for next Fall.OK, end of the story.....Finished splitting and stacking for this winter. Should burn this stuff in about 3 or 4 years.
