Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[derwoodii]

My main woodpile. I'm lucky enough to be several years in front, so the wood is well seasoned. I have a few potential axe and other tool handles seasoning on top of the wood, all sheoak.

Tassie is the land of sheoak, I remember when I first arrived here the old folks who had open fires burnt massive amounts of sheoak, I don't remember it being burnt much on the mainland. It burns with huge heat straight out of the bush dripping with sap providing you mix it with dry hardwood
I had a friend who had a grove of sheoaks on the 2 acre block he bought, lucky me he said as he cut the whole lot up into firewood, the next 5 years worth and let it dry for the wood heater. His wife was unimpressed as the bark breaks down leaving blobs of bark everywhere you handle it especially on the new carpet in their lounge room. Big stacks of the wood were left to rot, and he now calls sheoak "divorce wood".

Two more truck loads, 20 cord each. Small stuff, easy to handle, and pretty tight loads.

I screwed up the edit, more than once And no luck with a video of unloading. I was hoping to pull a couple stills off of it.

I asked about the max. weight he could haul. I believe he said, 80 ton combined weight. 160,000 lbs. I looked on line at the Michigan DOT axle weight limits just for fun. It was a bit confusing. Generally multiple axles are 13,000 per axle, but can vary based on axle spread, whether the axle is part of a tandem set or not, how many tandems, how many trailers, and even psi per inch width of tire, plus seasonal weight restrictions. I think the Michigan max. without a special permit is 164,000 lbs., and eleven axles. But then I guess there are federal bridge weight restrictions, calculations per axle, in addition to state law. Something of interest. Width is 96" most roads, designated roads 102", and log trucks carrying raw logs, 108" in Michigan. The logs in the post above are 100".

View attachment 511510 View attachment 511511 View attachment 511512 I am up to 45' long on the last pile I posted but am now close to the older logs so I moved to another pile I started in the winter. I hate to jump around but I had so many logs delivered in the winter, I couldn't keep them as orderly as I like. This new pile I'm working on was 35' long at the end of today. That puts me up to 160' of piles. Last pic was my reward once I got home from my moms farm.View attachment 511510View attachment 511511View attachment 511512View attachment 511513

I wont say u set the pace, but I sure as he** will say you set the stage!!! lol... makes me feel so bad... [ ] I just wanna run out and fire up my splitter and get some splittn' done... fan blowing hard and under shade of umbrella... so what if it's almost 97F out... lol.

Temps been HOT the past three days and two more to go. I must have been psychic about 15 years ago when I started this pile of black locust. Perfect placement to be in the shade until after 12 pm. Makes splitting wood bearable in the heat. Then even better:

I'm hauling it to stack along the fence to get good air circulation as it will be my winter supply, it also is in the shade but I have to chase the shade up the fence as the sun moves. Usually quit around 11 though

Today was a waste, had to go to town to sstraighten out and overdue bill - I wrote and mail the check a monthi ago but it never cleared, then came home, moved one load and then this:

That is the second wagon like that it happened to. I bought this one as it was advertised as "heavy duty, rated for 1400 lb load". Dunno what that engineer was smoking but I want a bunch of it! The wagon is now in the welding hospital.

One more day of heat and then I get back to cutting.

>The wagon is now in the welding hospital.

definitely...

Building plenty of woodpile fences myself, but your fence is awesome. I have not seen straight wood since I lived in Washington State. Thanks

Yes sir, Gamo Bone Collector, I like it very much, shoots around 1250-1300 fps with the right pellets. It also has a very good trigger for a "pellet gun", pretty smooth.

are you shooting it in .177 or .22 caliber. I like that scope. I assume that is the scope it comes with? sighted in accurately and keeps accuracy?... am thinking prob .22. can u tell us more? what pellets do u use?...
