Well I finally got all the trees that I fell over the past year CSS.

Some of these piles have been sitting for 1.5 years so I'm hoping they will burn OK this winter. I checked some of the splits and they're still about 25% MC but now that I have them covered with the tarps and it's finally getting warm, maybe I'll get lucky with some of them.

Here's another stack to the left of the above stacks...

Another stack on the opposite side of these...

A couple smaller stacks by the fire pit down by the lake...

...and some miscellaneous branches I'm saving up for either some small wood projects or more fire wood :cool:

All in all it totals a little over 4 full cords of wood or about 12 face cords (if my math is correct ;))

It's mostly sugar maple, red maple and some beech. All split by hand with the Fiskars X27.

I split a box elder I cut up a week ago. I don't always split in the driveway but I had placed the wood in the larger trailer when I got it out of the woods.

Looks almost too nice to disturb. I'm even a bit envious (I love my Maple, just ask anyone).
Welcome to the site by the way. Lots of great stuff and good people here.
Enjoy!
