Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

I am building a stock to carry me though my declining years. None of this is for sale. All Black Locust most of which was killed by the Locust Borer.

My current splitting area. I will be moving the splitting operation elswhere when that area is filled even with the stuff to the left. There are 8 ricks there so far. All my wood is piled rick tight against rick, no space between them. I keep my homemade cart there to toss in the bark/chips as I split then haul to the fire pile. Jusst did that today.

Stuff to the left is the oldest since I started cutting nothing but B Locust. That was around '95 or 96.

3 areas.
Far one by fence is my next season's wood. Around 5 cords - that was cut back in mid 90s from a blowdown area.
Rounds by fence is stuff waiting to be split - guestimate 6+ cords
Left hand pile has 2 20' ricks of unsplit rounds plus 7 or 8 ricks containing 1.5 cord splits.

More cut early in the B Locust era. Those piles go back some 20' to the garage/woodshed

I figure 40 + cords total but suspect it would be much more.

I can't think of a wood much better suited to long term storage than Black Locust...
Good choice...

I sold out everything I had by Christmas last winter... I only keep "special" stuff longer than a year...

My splitting and cutting areas

View attachment 234704 This is where the tree service drops off the trees. It has a cement pad 16 x 25.
View attachment 234705 The second area is a pad of 20 x 30. I sort and cut the logs and let them dry a few months. I have a good supply that is ready to split.

Topping it off is the fact I stacked it all in 1/3cord increments on individualized pallets.

I swear the guy in the mirror is a sadist.




Actually, many patients in that thread.

Here's the stack for 2013/2014. Approximately 3 cord in there.

Last year's splitting location. It moves around.

The 2012/2013 pile before splitting.

I like white oak also but, It makes life a little harder sorting through that stuff especially in the snow.

I always dump and split the piles in the same central "processing" site, then move stack in another area of our land.

10 or 20 digits depending on who is working... I need a conveyor, badly.

Yes it is, All of that wood with the white bark is white birch. It burns real nice just like yellow birch too.
