Impressive work the loggers of the day did. All hand work (no such thing as a chainsaw in those days). Lots of axe work, 2 man crosscut saws, etc. Then load logs and have the teamsters haul them to the river to wait for the spring thaw. Work outside in the winter before gore tex, polypropolene and thinsulate.

Despite being very experienced, I cannot imagine the amount and severity of injuries when something bad did happen around all of those big logs.

Way cool! About a good solid one week load for some of the guys here with smoke dragon OWBs......

I'd like to know how they stacked that, besides "very carefully".

I don't think a team that small would haul a load that big. Loads like that were known as brag loads.

a good team of draft horse's can and did pull loads of that quality... equipped with ice cleat/winter shoes pulling on a frozen down (water drenched, frozen to slicken the pulling from friction) skid road once it's broke free! this load looks to be all hard wood tho, soft woods weight will very! so I am told? "four ups" were used to "double team" with the pictured loads.....

I think I've got a "winter" horseshoe at the cabin somewhere. I'll try to dig it out and get a pic next time I'm up

Next to the garage for now. I hope to buy some land behind me in the future. If not I am going to build a 40 ft long 6 ft deep fire wood storage and it will also be a privacy fence to my neighbor on the right. Might as well make a dual purpose fence! Also plan a small building to house my saws, tractor, atv , splitter etc. That will be my splitting area. For now it's a pile where ever I feel like throwing [emoji20]

Here is mine as of the other day. Trying to put the hurt on that log pile with all this nice weather.

Here's mine. Two rows in each, started the week before Christmas.

What's all that white stuff?

Nice stack and equipment. My buddy has 2 IH 686 tractors and they come in very handy.

It's called SNOW.
Been a fairly mild winter so far, had a little cold snap the week of Christmas but not a lot of snow. By this time last year we could hardly get out in the woods anymore.

A couple of pictures from last weekend. Would like to get a few more cords this summer to keep up with usage.

 

[Sty57]

What is all that Brown & Green stuff on the ground?

 

[StephieDoll]

Do you mean the dirt and weeds?

 

[Sty57]

Is that what its called? I haven't seen that in awhile.

 

[Guswhit]

Do you mean the dirt and weeds?

Does it even get cold enough there to justify having a fire?

I just bought a processor from just north of Daytona Beach Florida (to the left). I still can't figure it out but I suppose the entire country burns wood in some form or fashion.....remember, fires are one of natures most powerful aphrodisiacs......

I was thinking the same thing, firewood in Florida? Like you said though. Who makes the processor?
