That time of year we start thinking about splitting and burning again.

New delivery yesterday... Arborist said Hickory and Oak.

Cedar on left from previous drop..

Can you smell it?

Close ups. Let me test my knowledge... Red Oak?

White Oak?

I didnt see any hickory...maybe underneath.

 

[johnnyballs]

i see some smoothbark or "shellbark" hickory in there...some people around here also call it "pignut"...

Wayyyyy behind this year.

New woodshed at the homestead of Oldmaple. Time for the boys and I to get to work. Spot is kind of messy so cleanup is in order.

Then to building.

Found a better use for it. Size is 24'x16' so it should hold 12 full cords by my math if it's all stacked 4' high. I used some white pine slabs I milled out of some logs that I had laying around for the purlins. The metal roofing came off of another building I had torn down so I didn't have to buy all the materials. The sidewalls are from the sides of a contractors dump truck that I cut off so I could build my chipper truck. Now to fill it (after the ping pong game is over of course).

Nice! Having helpers to help build, even nicer! It looks strong enough unless you get like five feet of snow/ice, that would be the only thing I would worry about.

Looks like a nice family project. I would have trouble filling that just with firewood.

I figured I'd (okay maybe not me but one of the helpers) be getting the snow rake out if there is too much snow.

@Oldmaple Now that you have your rec center built, when are the guys gonna start on the wood shed?

 

[Jere39]

Very nice job. And, I bet the young men will forever benefit from experiences like that. Skills, and can-do attitude last forever.
Good luck on the fill.

Polished the wedge with 20 cords of Oak. I blunt the top corner on purpose, as I have bump the back of my hand on it a few times.

 

[ri chevy]

Looks strong!

 

[Sandhill Crane]

Actually it is an interesting wedge. It is scalloped for one (another AS member noticed that some time ago, I did not.) And case welded vertically, the transition between paint and no paint.

My wife said there was too much shade on the pool on Sunday. 362XP and 55 beg to differ. Man was she laughing...

Nice! Ask and you shall receive. Is that red oak?

 

[Ronaldo]

Looks to me that would be in the White Oak family.......leaves are lobed and rounded. Red's leaves are sharply pointed.

 

[briantutt]

right it is white oak. which is great if you want to build a bridge, not so fun to split. There is zero red oak on our property, all white.

Wow. I was going by the center. Looked red. I couldn't zoom in enough to see the leaves clearly. Lol
