split a little wood this morning

[Full Chisel]

Looks like about 2 cord to me. That splitter is living up to its namesake!

All right men, how much wood is in this pile???

 

[sirbuildalot]

Here is my best day with a SS. My brother and I did this in about 8-8.5 hours. It stacked out to just over 12 cords. I don't know if I should dare say that though. No one will believe me.

LOL

Mine was a play on a very old joke (70s) about a piccolo player that i still think is hilarious. Guess you had to be there

I have no idea how much wood is in this picture. I can say I couldn't get it all in a shot even standing on top of the log truck. I would guess the area it covered was about an acre. Roughly 200' x 200' and it was 5.5'-6' high. I'd say a solid 1000 cords, maybe more. It was impressive to say the least, and none of it was mine. My friend who owns a large tree service company keeps 3 Supersplits and a TW6 busy a lot of the year. I have to hand it to the firewood guys, I'm in good physical shape and used to working outdoors as a carpenter. After two weeks my wrists were sore to the touch and literally creaking from repetitively grabbing the wood by the ends and flinging it. I did it in between jobs and was quite happy to be done. You guys that do it day in and day out have my respect.

That's what I was thinking...

You just don't tell a man he only has little wood... especially little hard wood... You just don't...

Forget the wood, what's up with the mechanical spider sneaking up behind the pile?!

One real cord of wood.
8' long stacked 4' high and 4' long.

All that crap is just a couple face cords.

They are 2 of the forklifts we had. We also had two 4wd Pettibones that telescoped that we used much more often. Everything from lifting shingles to the roof to having a guy work out of the box doing eave work, siding, installing windows, etc. When we got our first lift, everyone said it wasn't needed. Just hire an extra guy. A lift realistically replaces 2 or 3 guys. Never calls in sick, never complains, doesn't need a raise. Doesn't hurt his back.

Seems now everyone around here doing construction has a new $60,000 lift.

Looks like about a 1 2/3 cord of willow limbwood to me. And cut with a husky 455 full chisel chain on a Tuesday around 3 pm.

All right men, how much wood is in this pile???

Enough!

That's how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood.

 

[KiwiBro]

I'd bet my left nut that original pile ain't two real cords. Except I lost both nuts in previous bets.

 

[lindnova]

Gotta stack it to measure. 2 full cords is not an unreasonable guess for that pile.

Sir, that ain't an acre.
I know you said about an acre, it just seemed to fit.
Funny how an acre works out isn't it .
