I took 2 days off this week... Poured some concrete... Cut up a whole push pile of red cedar... Low BTU, but sure smells nice...

Hey Matt,
Not to ask a dumb question, but how well does that wood season and how much wind does it get? It looks awesome like that, very neat and organized. Great work!
 
Hedge

Well, if anyone wants some hedge lumber, let me know what dimensions & I'll bring it to the GTG, or bring a hedge log and I'll slice it up for ya. Looks like I'll be bringing my band mill, if the ol' Chevy is running. The wood turner who was asking about hedge roots is in Seattle.
 
Been using up some hack berry and silver maple that I hauled home from a friend of mine out of his tree cleanup and removal. Saving the good stuff for cold weather.

I like Hack, Silver Maple and Red Elm for cool weather wood. Oak for lower temps and Locust/Hedge for when the bottom drops out and overnight coals...

That barn was built for the purpose of drying wood... 14' on the south side and 9' on the north... 20" overhangs and 10" gap between the north wall and roof... It takes advantage of the prevailing wind and is open to the south sun in the winter... With small splits, I can have any wood burnable in 6 mos, and just plain awesome in a year... I was sold out by December... The key I think, is air movement, and NEVER getting wet from rain... Too bad it only holds about 25-30 cord...

Ick... I wouldn't want to pay the freight bill for a 300lb stump to Seattle!!!!
 
if it was stacked tighter you might get more in it:hmm3grin2orange::help:

I spend too much time on a ladder as it is Kenneth... I need to build a giant pole barn and just conveyor it into a giant pile... I'm thinking there has to be a faster way than I'm doing it now...
Maybe I could load it with the tractor then!!! :rock:
