April. The wood in foreground was frozen in until recently. I start replenishing tomorrow.

Hope you can get it filled back up before the coming winter!
What are you forming up there with the plywood?

The 4 rows make up a little over 5 cords. I've got enough on the ground, just need to split and pile.

That plywood makes up two walls of a Gaga pit. Gaga is best described as a cage match version of dodge ball. It's played at many summer camps and my kids loved it so I built them their own pit.

It's a (caution - big word ahead) symbiotic stacking method. Lean em in against each other and then they don't fall over as easily.

That is a nice looking load of logs there Buck!! Any idea how much is there?

Yep thats pretty flimsy, do you think if you had not cut the round corners out of the top it would have retained shape better? Just sort of perforating three inch holes on sides and maybe a square access door in one side?

First splits of 14'. Man I love splitting ash!

looks good! have you ever tried splitting basswood? straight grained, cut at 16" and a 12/14" round splits like cedar or willow....

Yes once. I think the Fiskars went right through and got stuck in the ground as I wasn't expecting it to give up so easily.

There's a ton of it on my hunting land, unfortunate that it has such a poor btu rating.

I hear that! it was used years ago as the main backing for caskets, lite as a feather an would not heat you up if you ended going south instead of north.... lol

I had a great day today bucking and hauling back to the house for splitting. Had some help from my brother loading and unloading. I'm loving the new 28" bar. The 365 special seems to like it too! I had to do ALOT of noodling and I did have to stop and pull the bar off a couple times to clean everything out to keep the oil flowing. I think I ran 6 or 7 tanks of fuel through it just today. The pile is really starting to grow. I have about 1/3 of my log pile home now. These rounds are some of the biggest I've ever cut. Some are over 30"diameter , all are 18" length.

Got some work done this weekend. It's just a fraction of what's laying in the woods waiting for a trip to the splitter... but I'll take any progress over none at all. Not a bad day's work, considering the muddy conditions out there. Can only load the cart part way. Split on Saturday, stacked today.

Red oak splits and stacks some kinda nice. The red maple, not so much.

Darn ignition coil in the tractor crapped the bed Saturday evening. I was gonna go in for one last load but she wouldn't start. Ordered a new one... hope it arrives before the weekend. I need to get the tractor back together and press on with my firewooding.

1 1/3 rows up. All maple, birch, and ash. A few more big blocks of maple and I go back to aspen for the duration of the pile.



Also split 3/4 cord of aspen for a friend this morning.

One of my helpers.

 

[Revturbo977]

Did a bunch of stacking for the past few hours. Starting to look like a wood pile now

 

[Axfarmer]

I spent about 6 hours on the splitter today.

Well, rats, I don't have any nice wood pics lately..but..I just finished my spring hay mowing, so after the end of the week I'll have some free time again.

A couple from today:

Still more to split, and a bunch more to haul home yet.

Feels good having the first cord stacked though.
