I am building a stock to carry me though my declining years. None of this is for sale. All Black Locust most of which was killed by the Locust Borer.
My current splitting area. I will be moving the splitting operation elswhere when that area is filled even with the stuff to the left. There are 8 ricks there so far. All my wood is piled rick tight against rick, no space between them. I keep my homemade cart there to toss in the bark/chips as I split then haul to the fire pile. Jusst did that today.
Stuff to the left is the oldest since I started cutting nothing but B Locust. That was around '95 or 96.
3 areas.
Far one by fence is my next season's wood. Around 5 cords - that was cut back in mid 90s from a blowdown area.
Rounds by fence is stuff waiting to be split - guestimate 6+ cords
Left hand pile has 2 20' ricks of unsplit rounds plus 7 or 8 ricks containing 1.5 cord splits.
More cut early in the B Locust era. Those piles go back some 20' to the garage/woodshed
I figure 40 + cords total but suspect it would be much more.

I can't think of a wood much better suited to long term storage than Black Locust...
Good choice...
I sold out everything I had by Christmas last winter... I only keep "special" stuff longer than a year...

My splitting and cutting areas
View attachment 234704 This is where the tree service drops off the trees. It has a cement pad 16 x 25.
View attachment 234705 The second area is a pad of 20 x 30. I sort and cut the logs and let them dry a few months. I have a good supply that is ready to split.

Topping it off is the fact I stacked it all in 1/3cord increments on individualized pallets.
I swear the guy in the mirror is a sadist.
Actually, many patients in that thread.

Here's the stack for 2013/2014. Approximately 3 cord in there.
Last year's splitting location. It moves around.
The 2012/2013 pile before splitting.

I like white oak also but, It makes life a little harder sorting through that stuff especially in the snow.

That a new Ramsplitter electric ? 110v ? Cost ? How's the 4-way head work for you ?
How about a review with pros/cons ?

I always dump and split the piles in the same central "processing" site, then move stack in another area of our land.
10 or 20 digits depending on who is working... I need a conveyor, badly.
Dam good looking wood!!!...is that white barked wood Birch?
Yes it is, All of that wood with the white bark is white birch. It burns real nice just like yellow birch too.

My growing wood pile. It's about 4 cords in this picture. I've got a couple more that are split that I need to stack.
