Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

What is that Mustard yellow wood I. The middle pile?

That is Hedge (Osage Orange). It's very, very, dense wood. Perhaps the best firewood in North America. As a bonus my neighbor was clearing a fence line & gave it to me

This cherry has been uprooted on a small sugar maple (damaged) since last winter I think, so today I hauled out one load. I have some rounds left along with what you can see in picture 9432 to the root ball in picture 9433.

Lots of work there.
How long of splits can you fit in your stove.

I run a wood boiler that I cut wood to 24" . wood stove thats now a back up or used in a few spring days I run 18" max

Nice, I thought the spits looked a little long.

Wow, did you get a little carried away, or was that the plan all along.
They are usually priced pretty good, you got a lot of goodies on it.

I'm an Architectural Technologist so I planned the structural just like that.
Direct compression loads bearing straight down through the center of the posts right down through the foundation piers. No shear loading of any beams or trusses.
The diagonal braces are PT 4"x 4" and are that length for optimal lateral support and are fastened with long structural screws used in log home building (post and beam fasteners).
Dutch contractor added the narrowing up of the roof trusses which meant 2 extra ones and suggested we beef up the roof strapping from the minimum code requirement of 1x4@24" O/C to 2x4@18" O/C.
We have had great snowfalls lately and we are in the snowbelt here so that was a very good suggestion and only cost about $400 more overall for both.
The only thing I added was the aluminum soffit ceiling under the main carports for about $450.
It's a strong structure and I'm very satisfied with how it turned out.

I cut up a little elm right next to the woodpile a few weeks ago, and last weekend I cut a bit of black locust here at the house that came down in the storm that came through.
Here's a video cutting the elm, is that legal in a picture thread.

Id like to find some Locust.
Its a bit rare around me.

Thats great, I'm not any of that, but when I build things I like them to last too .
Looking forward to getting my pole barn built when the economy tanks, I already have the pad cleared and leveled within a few inches. The main structure will be 32x48 with two 12x48 lean tos, I want to have 3 diagonal parking spots(one will have a lift) in the main off to the left and the door will be to the right of the gable end, that will leave a nice spot to park a truck with a trailer attached. 12x24 section for my wife to park in for winter, and the other half will be a 12x24 heated/AC'd shop with a door going into my wifes parking area to expand the work area when shes not using it.
The other lean to will be for all my equipment such as tractor/brush hog/skidding winch, mower(when not on the trailer, quads.
It will fill up quick .

Just a few pictures of some splitting I did today, we have two years of shoulder season wood stacked so this will be piled stacked in an area that will need some cleaning up, the wood is white pine that was felled last year.

I did get some tarps out so we can cover our shoulder season wood tomorrow.

Picture 9436 is the white pine pile I've been splitting from, pictures 9437,9438,9460 are from today with 9464 and 9465 all the wood I split from this bunch of white pine.

Picture 9462 is this years fawn who watch me split for an hour before leaving.

Its a kioti 2610, the tractor with third function valve and grapple was right at 20k

I am still working on adding up my latest city scrounged oak just from down the street... bout one cord now. makes about 3 I have in town now. 3/4 C still to split... most of this wood is pretty fresh, some older... smaller is for daily campfire use.

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

but this is



is now this.

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

all this is headed to the wood pile...


plus this:

in case u r wondering... it is pronounced: coyote

 

[abbott295]

I know at least three ways to pronounce 'coyote'. In English, as two (silent e on the end) or three syllables (with the e pronounced 'ee'), and in Spanish. And the spelling of the tractor brand 'Kioti' opens up more possibilities.

Finally had some time to start working on this pile. We have a ways to go but it will be worth it.

Each pile is 100-105 feet long
