Looks like a nice pile of wood. How many cord do you figure.
I added a couple buckets to the woodshed, two more rows and I'll have mine in the woodshed for the yr.

Roughly guessing I'd say at least 10 cords all total. I keep telling dad we never have had enough firewood by the end of the season, hopefully this year we stay ahead.

Never a dull moment unless we make it that way, looks like you made something out of it.
I was thinking of you today, went to my parents to drop a couple leaning cherry trees.
All went well so I didn't have any new learning experiences, this time lol.
Got a nice pile going over there and I know there's at least one more tree I need to get down for them that's leaning into another from the wind we had up here.
I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with the nice sized white oak, may slab it out where it lies, much time to think about that one though.

How did you get the line in the top of that tree?
Big shot, throw bag and line, then pulled my rope up, then pulled my winch cable.
More important is how did I make the cut on the second one 12' off the ground working by myself and get to walk away and run the winch
.See the "stump".

Yesterday I cleaned up the stacking area that was open and got it ready for the first four face cord, today I stacked two face cord. The types of firewood in this stack are, Ash,Beech, Sugar and Soft Maple.
I did make a run to get some rounds in the woods so I could split them and finish this stack.

I have a Speeco too. Good splitter for the price. I was going to build one from scratch and found that I could buy a complete one and then cut it apart to make what I wanted cheaper. I did a lot of wood with it for a couple of years. Then I built my 36" splitter and this one is sitting here idle. 
That's exactly what I wanted to do. If want the 4" cylinder to get the cycle times down a bit.
Did I see that one before. How much delivered, you know where I'm at, mile south of town as the crow flies

I made a thread with pictures of the whole process but then we got hit by that damn hacker and the pics are all gone. My wife actually moved that splitter today, she's on a big clean up binge. It's actually more of a "moving things around" binge than an actual cleanup. We're finding stuff that's been hidden for years, it's kina like Christmas but with the nasty Grinch yelling at me for having multiples of almost everything. Went to a sale last weekend and bought a new box blade, she promptly pointed out the newish Land Pride one sitting on the fence line. That's when I remembered that a buddy borrowed my old red one and hasn't brought it back yet. I also bought a land plane, never used one before and thought I might like to try one out. Bought a sprayer because it had 2 newish cylinders on it that would be handy to have ( cheap at $25) . I bought a fire pit rim, actually I bought 10 fire pit rims, I'm going to have more fires going than Backyard Lumberjack. I also bought 2 pieces of 6x 18' long I beams to make a log deck out of. I ended up with two loads of "stuff". There are a few pics of the speeco in this thread. https://www.arboristsite.com/commun...r-build-parts-these-days.307043/#post-6177271
Are those pics from your yard now, or is that at the auction
.I may have use for that land pride box blade too, you can keep the one your buddy has(if he brings it back lol), and the red one
.Could use those beams to raise my shed sometime soon, but locust logs will probably do the trick just fine since it's only to backfill under it, then I will set it down on locust legs(better than treated lumber
).Thanks for the link, that gives me some ideas. I like the simplicity for the pusher on the wedge, no need to remove it. Instead of cutting the foot in half I planned on removing the whole thing, then extending the knife down to the bottom of the beam with supports to all sides of the beam and a table that would slide on the end. I need to get my barn built first, so it may have to wait a while

Lot's of Klokkengas in Emden, Kris Klokkenga lives right across the road from me. Yes Emden is just a 1/2 mile off 136 and a mile west of I-155
Klokkenga is probably it then. Still can't come up with his first name. He should be in mid 60s, much like me.
Took down a oak today. It was a leaner and I used my new throw line to get my pull rope up higher in the tree. Worked well.You can see the curve in the tree on the ground. If it had gone wrong there would have been a power outage on my street. LOL I pulled back on it hard and dropped it to the side.
Cut up into logs, the oak and a maple that blew over in a storm a week ago.

Brought this little jag of dead Oak home. It was two little trees. The battery on the dump is dead so have to charge it up. My BIL wants to split on the farm tomorrow so in need the trailer empty.
When I got up this morning it was raining, but so warm it felt like Oak Splitting weather. So I split up that little jag on the trailer. Think I'll go get another load tomorrow.
I like that attitude!
Is that your driveway, trailer haven or the end of the cul-de-sac/court or whatever you call it over there?
