Very nice! This weather is nuts, the other day it was 60 degrees and the next morning we had 6.5 inches of snow, just all over the place.....we've abused Mother Nature for too long and now she is hitting back....

nice. I split about a cord over the weekend. it was 73º. I also took advantage of the neighbors wanting to have an afternoon fire and sat around getting rid of a few of the brush piles :)
 
Where's yer snow??

Seems like winter is just getting going here. Got 6" Thursday night, in the middle of a 12-24" blizzard right now, calling for another 4-6" for this coming Thursday.

Aaarggh...

Man, those tables look handy....better than the two 5-gal. buckets I stack up for a table. :rolleyes: White Oak is about the best in my book, but it takes forever to split it because I keep stopping to sniff it! ;lol

It think we got a half inch, a couple of different times, that's about it. Mid-60s for the foreseeable future. Stove might be out for a week or more...unheard-of for Feb. :confused:
 
"Where's yer snow??" We have been fortunate this year! I have got a lot of CSS done for sure!
"Man, those tables look handy" Woody those grates at the end of the splitter are wonderful if you have 4 people running the splitter...the other table is actually a log lift and when we are running smaller stuff we use it as a staging table and pile it full..it takes 1 guy splitting and 1 guy loading and 2 to keep the split stuff cleared off before it it hits the ground...I want a wood conveyor bad...lol With all of the wood on hand we can knock out 1-2 cord a hour depending upon the size of the rounds...it will produce.
