I just cross stack it on the ends, no problem
2.75 cords cherry and start of 3.5 cord of oak

BTW - don't stack rounds vertical grain, it holds too much water.

I find my stacks always seem to lean one way or another as they settle and dry. However, if they start to lean to where I am concerned about them falling, I just hip bump them back straight and that seems to work. I don't plan on entering the stacks in the state fair.

That's our problem. Sometimes it's up to 8 years before we burn and they shift if stacked straight as the middle weight starts pushing it out over time. I now stack with heavy leans on piles I know will be there a while. Sometimes takes 3 ricks before you get it straight and have to do 2 ricks at the same time. I stack with a gap and fill the gap as well. This is the one I'm doing today and has a little over 2 ft of in lean. Doing this I have yet to have one push out.
We store everything under roof for years so no need to single row it for air drying.
