I made lots of mistakes on that one, lots of learning.
The great thing is that I learned, nothing was damaged, no-one was hurt, I didn't have to make an insurance claim, and I did get the tree down and I got paid so the truck damage was kind of a wash. It's not a matter of if it will happen but a matter of when

Good thing no one was injured. Drop enough trees and sooner or later something will go wrong.I made lots of mistakes on that one, lots of learning.

Estimate the height of the tree and park twice that distance away?
It does.
Pictures dont always show everything. I'll just say this in that neighborhood if it aint tied down it will walk away.Estimate the height of the tree and park twice that distance away?
If I would have just dropped it between my truck and the house (about 30') all would have been well(I second guessed myself multiple times, dont do that!). Never hit anything felling trees in the woods

Somebody in MO built one and had it at Matt's GTG a couple years ago. Can't remember who it was. i like 'em
Burn much pine?

, and spruce . There is some red fir and tamarack in the middle pile but that’s the for sale pile.
Found some decent white oak. Possibly been here several years. Sap wood is very punky but heart wood is pretty dang solid. 24-25” bar. And I chopped off most the sap wood onsite. I sell it as cooking wood so it’s gota be quality stuff to use in my smoker and others for cooking. Mostly left in this pile is Fir. I seen another pile with a good size trunk of oak
Thanks for all the likes last time!

Some of this will be burned 19/20, hopefully half or so will be saved for 20/21.

Is it freshly cut trees ? You'll be good to go with about only 5 months of seasoning ? You're lucky, weather here doesnt allow it.

Trees were logged mid-winter, but not delivered to me until a couple months ago. I cut all of it / split much of it then. The last third I didn't split until the past couple weeks. You are correct to think that some of my wood for this year will not be as dry as I would prefer. The past couple years I have struggled to keep myself a full season out, as I used to easily in the past.
P.S. When I stack it in my barn it will be most seasoned, last in... so any wood from that pile won't hit the stove till mid-January.

12 cord by my math, but a nice picture to boot.. 
Doin some work around and on the wood pile. Some of this oak was too tough so I had to noodle it. Very stringy also,luckily not super bad tho. Figured out how to bust the punky sap wood off real efficiently also with my light weight fishers axe
Brought out the 075 for this cross cut for cut and to do the noodling. It’s actually jamming up when noodling over the 064. Any ideas on how to help that? Seems to be putting extra load on it. I got her tab rich right now. The 064 started idling high the other day and seemed like it was happy next day after blowing the filter out lol
im splitting them with my screw splitter also but these rounds will heat the harden tip fast. Other woods can go all day. I even spray pam oil spray on the screw every new log on tuff stuff
