My first pic post on here, this site drove me to do this....thanks[/QUOTE]
Nice small splits too... You'll enjoy burning that this upcoming season!!!
By the time I finished splitting last year that pile had tripled in size, normally it gets burned in the fire pit the following year.
Last year the "goofy" pile ended up being mostly oak so I tossed it all down the coal shoot and used it to heat the house during the (few) cold night we did have... worked out good because I didn't need to touch my "pretty" stacks. But, because I didn't save them for this years fire pit, all this years dry enough "goofy" pieces are getting used as fast as I make them. Looks like I'll be robbing from the "pretty" stacks to keep the fire pit going before end of summer/fall.

Surely you jest!!! If you do that, you'll be given a stern warning by the anal wood stacker's society!!!
Get 3 of those, and you'll be BANNED!!!
:waaaht:
Oh sure - it start out easy: "I'll just take a few of the ugly splits from the top of one of the stacks in the back." Pretty soon you're pulling from the closest stack to the firepit and eventually you'll even start tearing down the cross stacks at the end of the rows. Don't forget: purty stacks is just for lookin' at. :hmm3grin2orange:
I second the motion...this why all of my leftover good wood is now 150' from my boiler so i HAVE to get crap wood to heat the pool.

In the by-laws of our charter, it says...
"If a member runs low of cookies and ends for one's fire pit, one must make more"
Thus relieving the temptation to rob respectable sticks from the aforementioned anal retentatively stacked stacks of BTU laden, and honorable firewood...
Or... Just burn the neighbor's willow branches...
heres some logs next years wood
Nice pictures! Looks like some good stacks! Rep sent!
Awesome! I love that log arch you pull behind your four wheeler with and that buzz saw looks pretty mean!

here is some elm dead about 2 years. 28" bar on the saw. i dropped it an pulled it out last winter
this spring i debarked the logs and bucked the biggest sections into 28"-29" lengths to split for my owb. here is one of the rounds being processed on my splitter using the 6-way wedge. that dry nasty elm is tough, but it screamed for mercy :hmm3grin2orange:

Kind of hard to see in this picture, but it is at the right edge of the picture running along the property line. It is 3' wide, around 6' high, and over 200' long. quick math says it is just over 28 cords...
enough for 3+ years... I like to have it stacked and covered for at least 12 months to dry before burning it.
