Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

Easy part finished - now for the splitting and stacking. Scout is my Chief Security and Standards officer - I cut each round one Scout length



A couple of you folks reporting you hate to burn Oak in another thread must really detest pictures like this. No worries, it makes fine splitting and I get no complaints from warm home owners.

Does he stand there while your cutting lol.
I don't detest it if your talking to me as one of those folks lol. I don't hate burning it, just waiting for it to season .
Personally I'd be getting some boards made out of that or selling the logs and buying firewood with the cash if need be.
I'll be right back with some .

Here's some boards a buddy milled up for me on his bandsaw mill. There's enough to do the other side this yr and this was out of the small end of the butt log, it was a little bigger than the one your dogs on I'd guess though.

Steel screws, no pins on this one. I enjoy that sort of thing, but I'm not into taking that much time to build it .

My uncle has a saw mill and in the past I have had many of the big oaks milled. The main part of the house is post and beam and I have made most of the furniture from the left overs from the beams.
Still make a clock here and there but really have no need for lumber.Some of the stuff I have done.

That's really cool! Makes for great memories to pass along. I have zero skill with cabinetry.

Very nice.
I wouldn't mind doing some woodwork, but I don't have a setup for it, nowhere to store wood inside except the basement and there isn't any outside access.
A pole building is the next construction project I plan on other than some shelves for the basement.

those chunks sure do look ready for some splitting! I like that tractor! is it new? from afar, rear wheels say new, or in excel condition! what is with the box on back? is it a 3-pt? I like how u can stow your saws. if u get a chance, I would like to see some more pix of it. or a link?

also, thot your woodworking/cabinet making nice. the dresser set looks heirloom, but I really like the gun cabinet. you make it from framework up? is in oak?...

 

[chipper1]

Little something to add to the woodpile.
Hope to get it split up before we get the next batch of weather.

Gun cabinet is solid red oak as is the dresser. All made by me from trees cut on my place. Tractor is new, weight box on 3 point I made those channels to hold the saws.

Yes sir, I'll be out there working on it today. If it's not finished by sat then my lovely bride and I may be splitting wood for date night .
She does help so it wouldn't be a problem, but the sun is shinning here already so it should be a nice day to get it all done.
It does look like it's gonna get pretty crazy with all that wind, fortunately for use we are just into the grand river valley so it's not typically as bad here as other areas.

90% of the wood I collect is for cooking food the seasoned pile on the left is getting smaller and the pile on the right is getting bigger. I took this pic today after selling 1/4 cord to a guy running a pizza oven
