I can't complain about the (free) junky wood... soon had a real nice fire going for the rest of the day's afternoon chores... may not be SW Idaho... our state hit 103f other day! but to me... feels close! real close!! ~


...real close! and I have the big tall pine trees in my yard to back that up! lol

Picked up a few piles (there was none in January) over the past 4 months

In a typical year, I wrap up my cutting, splitting, stacking in April with the end of cool weather. This year, the weather has stayed cool well into May, the good Governor of PA still has us in lock-down, and Spring storms have brought down some bonus trees. So, yesterday I did some briar dancing and sawing on this bonus Oak that fell right near my stacks:



And today, I started splitting this. It was a live Red Oak that uprooted, so this stack might take two seasons to be ready:



Still working in long sleeves, temps in the 40's to start, rising into the 50's. If it gets too warm, the lawn needs to be mowed too.

I split the Ash rounds that I brought out of gully yesterday, it gave us another face cord for a total of 12 face cord of Ash in that area. With the Beech,Ironwood,Maple and Cherry stacked out front, that was another 6 face cord for a total of 18 this spring. I still have some rounds of Ash in the gully so I'll get those before the end of May. Since I've been cutting Ash, we have 26 face cord up. We have a total of 60 face cord up with room for another 15 face cord.

We burn Pine in the shoulder season and have a separate area for that, we have 6 face cord up for this year (stacked last summer) and another 6 will be stacked this summer for the years of 2021 & 2022.


The wife ask me today if I could start on bucking up some of the Pine logs from the garage clearing, there goes my break.

2 separate angles of the wood stacks. Not sure where I'm gonna put this oak pile.

I brought 9 transport box loads of noble fir out of the woods today.
I normally use a 10x5 trailer for this but the ram is banjaxed. Last time I used it universal oil started pouring out of the ram as I was tipping the load out. Seals are probably done for.

He said it was noble fir.

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Yeah it's noble fir. Very similar to silver fir.

Personal consumption or do you sell firewood?

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Both.

Worked on splitting some this morning while it was cool. Up to 80 now. 2/3 done with what I had down.

 

[FinnKamp]

Yeai..we didn't run out of firewood! That was the only good thing about mild winter (which means damp conditions, overcast skies, mud and that gross brown stuff what is technically snow). Thats's what we have left from 2018 batch.


Though it's been the coldest May I remember, not too many days like this (clear skies, 68F/20C)

 

[thewoodlands]

Some of this p.o.p. is from the garage clearing and the bigger stuff left is from a pine we had taken down, It's about 78 with the humidity at 37 so it wasn't that bad.

Before I start on what's left, I'll split the rounds and move them over to the outside fireplace.
