Pretty bird! We used to have a lot more around here, but apparently most have been shot. I also saw a couple of I guess kestrels here before, but just the one time.

I only just started, 2 months ago , and have burned 1/3 of what's here... How many cords? Best guess.. View attachment 469019 View attachment 469020 View attachment 469021

Haven't posted on this thread since page 1 or 2 since my piles really haven't changed and my splitting area's have been small and fast. Here is a pic of this winters splitting area as soon as it gets cold. Stack of rounds is 20X20X5.

Looks like a saw buck to me .

That is my sawbuck. Each post is exactly 20 inches so every piece is cut at the same length every time. A can get 120 pieces/rounds out of 5 cuts.

I recently bought a drone. Had to take an aerial photo of the pile and stacks. That big freshly split pile is all honey locust. Looks a little messy from above.

Huh, replying to myself, sure sign of old age. Memory is gone too, apparently page 1 or 2 is actually page 86. Pics are all gone do to the virus, so are a bunch of the early pages guys. I will have to post some replacement pics here soon.

Large enough for helicopter logging?

Only big enough for camera.

For curiosity sake, how long do you usually leave a pile like that before you stack it and newbie question of the day: does stacked wood dry/cure faster than wood in a loose pile?

thanks

looks like that splitting area could be a helli logging log landing. nice setup. picture from the drone looks really stable also.

Should answer all your questions

I usually split and then stack it right away, but started to run tight on space for the fifth pallet row which will go on the left side. I have a compost dirt pile that partially needs moved and have plenty to burn this winter. So I just threw it in a pile for now. I might get it stacked this winter at some point. I am using the wood off the single row behind the big stacks first. I changed my stacking layout last year. Using up that single row will get better airflow down my pallet rows.

If I was trying to dry the most efficiently in loose stack I would have laid down pallets first for airflow underneath. Then wouldn't make a pile 6 feet tall either.

The link is good resource.

That reference is a bit on the non-conservative side with statements like a single year drying is plenty for the harder to dry woods and 6 months is plenty for most woods.
