Where do you get your wood from? Buy logs or scrounge? Both?
Those pics just make me smile. Love the close up of it checking on ends. I even showed the wife...lol.


I've never bought any logs, knowing loggers is helpful.:happybanana:

It is pretty surprising how much the wood has already dried throughout the Winter. The splitting started in Dec.
 
I found the piece of wood I was looking for last nite, the one to finish filling the wood shed!!!! 7 full cord in the shed, 2 full cord stacked between the pine trees next to the garage, life is good.
 
Well,

I finally got my wood stacked up for next year. I have two 20" rows, 52' long x 5'3" high. By my calcualtions it puts me at 7 full cords. Time to start processing some logs.





















Great pics.
Gotta love seeing all that fuel stacked there.
What species are we talking there Sir?

That, sir, is purdy. If I were you, I'd be spending a fair bit of time just standing there admiring it.
 
I know there's quite a bit of shagbark, some rock maple, a little poplar, some red oak. Maybe an odd tree here and there, but those 4 mostly.
My favorite firewood is Sugar Maple (or as some call it, rock maple)
Shagbark Hickory is another good one. I do cut some Red Oak but I stack it separate as it takes 2-3 years seasoning.
My Poplar is used for kindling and comes from trees on my property. It gets stacked on the kindling racks.
We have a lot of Black Cherry firewood here too. The really straight logs go to veneer or finish lumber.
 
Well, I have some uglies and a few punky blocks to split, but I'm done for awhile.
