Nice work man. Thanks for sharing the pics. You read that dogs mind for the last words to that pic. Damn, your good. He looks like he had a tuff day of gaurding your treasures and all that wood all day. Looks like he deserves a treat of some kind.

She's more than taken care of, I spoil her rotten.
 
Friends just got home from Springfield, and said they saw nothing but destruction on their way up Friday. I told her she shoulda thrown some wood in the back of the truck & brought it home :)

Love the doggie pic !!!
 
Looking nice...lots-o-work = lots of warmth!
 
Are you sure that first picture is a Choke Cherry? It looks like a juneberry to me from the bark to the dark center wood. Juneberry wood is probably similar to apple, since they are closely related. The picture here is Juneberry and the bark looks just like your tree.

No, Im not sure, choke cherry was a guess based on my google skills, if Juneberry is similar to apple it should be decent wood.

Edit, I looked at pictures of juneberries and the berries I get dont look like the ones in the pictures. Juneberries look sort of like blueberries, the berries I get are small round and red only.
 
Always a good feeling to look at a stack of fire wood. Nice pictures.
Lots of BTUs there
Looks good.
I bet you can roast marsh mellows in front of the glass, you have a hot one burning there :)
 
Choke cherry burns good and you did well on the cleanup. Enjoy the heat.

Does that look like choke cherry to you Dennis? I can tell you the wood is very hard and heavy so I assumed it would be good burning.
 
Only in that second pictures does some of that look like choke cherry.
