Finished cutting & stacking next years wood this morning. Also got the following years supply delivered before the snow comes again.

45 minutes north of Portland along the Midcoast. It's odd not having snow but it sure made chopping wood easy this year.

Zooba! How the HECK did you build that stack, besides very carefully? Thats like the high rise for holz hauzens whatever they are called, the sky scraper

We start stacking and throwing the firewood up by hand.
Then we use the conveyor to pile it up higher, the guys go up and to stack it up more.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
One log's worth, and still have about 2m of the butt section to cut once I get another chain for my bigger bar. Hardest wood I've ever cut. Like fibre reinforced concrete. So dense nearly every split will be an 'all nighter':

Awesome pics
Does the wood in the center of those glorious piles dry OK? Maybe it is being split dry or your seasons are harsh enough to suck the moisture out regardless?

Most impressive firewood operation I've ever seen. Salute.
It appears you have a stacked firewood wall around a huge pile (like a retaining wall). Does your "wall" ever fail or do you add vertical boards or poles and then wrap the pile with wire or rope to support the wall?
How many people does it take to do this?
Wow!

Yes, It takes months to build the large piles. We get very little rain here and have long hot summers.
One or two guys stack the rows the others guys are cutting and splitting the wood.
There is nothing holding up the stacks. When we start stacking the wall/row for a large
pile we need to tapper the stack inward toward the pile. Stack and pack wood behind the
row. The ground level stack will be wider then the top. After the pile fully dries and settles
it will have pushed on the stack to where it is straight up and down or close to it.
Yes sometimes a stack will come down if the guy stacking it does not do it right from
the start. Need to use straight pieces and stack it tight.
When stacking the shorter firewood pieces like 16" we make two stacks around the pile.
You can see how close the two stacks are at ground level and how they get farther apart as they go up. We have to try and keep the stacked pieces level or the tall stacks will
come down after a few months.
About every 5-6 years a photographer will take aerial photos of the businesses in the
area. then he will come with the photo to see if I want to buy it.

Holy smoke! That's some operation.

Awesome! How many cord per stack? And are you using a processor, or just a variety of your even more awesome fleet of saws?
And you must have some pretty steady customers to move all that wood!
