I cut my wood into rounds, or half or quarter them back in the woods where I drop them. Then haul & stack them on an old concrete pad, till I get it filled up, then go into splitting mode for a while, at my leisure. As I split it, I haul and stack it in the barn. Old cattle shed with concrete floor. Gets good air & sun there. I usually do 15 cord a year. 5 for myself, and the rest I sell to a few friends & neighbors. They pick it up.:biggrin:

Gregg,
Those are some great pics you posted, thanks for sharing them! :msp_thumbup: Looks like you put a "little bit" of time into stacking that wood, also looks like you put some effort into cutting it all the same length, and the splits are really even too.....O.K. I admit it, I'm a little jealous. Can't help it, you've got some great looking stacks, did this just get a little weird.....???:hmm3grin2orange:

Most of it is Ash, little Oak in there too. EAB borer hit this area pretty bad in the last couple years. Thats mostly what I have been cutting, and will be in the future too. Its a shame to loose the trees, but they do make great firewood.:msp_thumbup:
Stacking it is the easy part for me. The cutting ain't bad either. Its the splitting I don't care for. I know some guys mark or measure there wood when cutting. I don't, I just guess..LOL They are not perfect, believe me. Sometimes, the bigger the round is..the shorter they sometimes get.:msp_sneaky:
Gregg,

Naw... You just joined... Be diligent, and you'll be dropping picture bombs in no time...
There's a time requirement too...
my stash is pretty good for having lived in a wood burning home for 3 months.
maple seasoning for 2 winters from now...
the current seasoned wood. i have plans to build a lean to beside that shed, so i'm not bothering stacking this stuff until that happens. no sense in stacking twice!

I agree, no double work unless you "have to", post pics when it's done.....looks like you got a good bit of work done in just 3 months, nicely done. :msp_thumbup:
wagz, Your wood supply is lookin better than mine at the moment. 
We had a unusually warm winter around here, didn't use near the wood, we normally do. I have a bunch of wood cut, but havn't split any yet this year. I'm usually better than half done by now. Was very wet here early on, now that it has dried up, time to hit it again. Nice pics, by the way.
