Scored a truck load of Doug Fir off C/L today, some of it bucked kinda thin, but that is OK. I figure close to a cord

Here are my stacks from prior C/L scores that I have CSS. It is all Doug Fir and Big Leaf Maple. About 6 cord, 3 are ready to burn next season, plus the cord in the truck and another in the back yard still needing split gives me about 8 cord total

Nice score Elderthewelder, how do you split the huge rounds?

on the real big ones I either quarter them with wedge/sledge or set the Iron & Oak up vertical and quarter them. After I get a lot of them quartered I put the splitter back to horizontal and continue splitting
 
Those rounds will separate the men from the boys!

Now, I'm just gonna' wait for Dennis to show up. :lol:

:lol: Ya Dave. Why would one split partial vertically and then move to horizontal? Beats me.


Elder, those things can make you work up a sweat! I'll bet it was fun loading too.

Loading was a breeze, they were right at the road, parked right next to them. Me and my big strong 17 year old son rolled them up on the hydraulic lift gate and into the truck.


As for the splitting, I find it easier to split horizontal, however for those big ones it goes vertical to quarter them. just takes a minute to change over. kind of a strange way to do it I know, but it works for me
 
Feels good to be loaded up on wood huh? I like that shed you have, nice and simple but does the job.
