The Perfect Stack of Wood.

[Michael M]

I cut and split some more nice red oak poles this evening. Went to the yard about 6:15 pm and got a half cord cut split and stacked before dark. I think it is my best job stacking to date. Then again it was pretty dark when I finished so maybe it will fall over by morning I will take a pic in the daylight in the morning for your judgement.

Are you the one that had the beautiful looking stack of wood on here the other day? Wanting to sell by the stick ? If so, I dont know how you could make it any neater , but I respect your good work.

 

[Michael M]

I had a perfect stack of wood one time.

...but since then I've quit drinking Bourbon before stacking. :greenchainsaw:

That is a pretty good start, and I like (and agree with) your use of square/rectangular pieces on the criss cross ends. However, I would have used some flat half-rounds from the edges of big logs to "tie" the criss-crosses into the main pile about every 4-5 levels. You did good, but I can see room for improvement. oke:

Too nice to burn it now.

And here I thought the perfect stack of wood was the one thst I didn't have to do! I am the son of a bricklayers daughter and thankfully it has carried over in my wood stacking. The mortar is a pain to chip off before sticking the wood in the stove though.

Nice job on the stacking! I repped you for neatness. Teacher always says neatness counts!

I love that! Nice job.

 

[Wood Doctor]

Best of them all!

This could be the best stacked wood pile that I have ever seen posted on this forum. Keep it up and keep the pile growing the same way. Curly Cherry is pulling your leg and big time.

(Sniff) Man, I feel like a slob now. Anything that doesn't tip over is a perfect stack here.

I hate making criss cross ends, fence posts are my weapon of choice instead.

Seriously neat, rep sent!

I want to see you do that with elm.:hmm3grin2orange: Nice clean stack.:biggrinbounce2:

15 layers in the right column,14 on the left = pitiful:rockn:

 

[stihlcountry]

If I stacked wood that neat I would,nt want to burn it. Great Job. Rep sent.

Reminds me of my grandpa's woodpiles. He cut with a bucksaw. All measured out to 16" and piled about 10 feet high. You could have sighted along the pile and never seen an end. I still try to do it like he did, but I am not worthy.

Thanks for the compliments, alot of it is just because it's mostly nice straight red oak, I measure for length, and Im just weird about nice looking wood piles. I stack 3 wide rows up until the first of febuary, then the stuff I cut and split in March gets stacked just two wide to get it more air to it. Anything thats cut in april gets stacked one row wide. After that it's back to three wide getting ready for the following year. I posted this pic here before (three wide full cords) this was stacked this past november.
