Splitting perfectly sized rounds today.

But how do you keep them from getting them? Thats the problem.

Added more today. Not sure how much on this pile but it's getting up there. Hammock conveniently located for breaks as needed

An acre's worth of Noble Fir that I cleared in September-October. I worked around the ash trees and a couple of nice fir trees that I decided to leave.
The wood has dried out quite a bit and so has the ground, the next couple of weeks are going to be fun!

Before and after:





It all came down in a storm a couple of years ago. Ground was good and dry lately after the last 4 weeks of sunny and dry weather.

The ground still got dug up pretty good though, it's pure bog underneath.




There is still some windfall down there, but i's no longer blocking the path.



David Brown 1390 made easy work of it for only 60HP.

Here is some of the wood we cut and stacked down there, mostly spruce but with some ash thrown in.

I finished the two face cord stack of Beech today with more spits still in the woods, I'm thinking about felling three more Beech before everything gets green.

We have a bunch of damaged American Hophornbeam (Ironwood) not far from the Beech so I took three damaged trees with more rounds in the woods.

Do you guys still burn peat, in Ireland?

Working on splitting the black oak I brought home last time, it puts off a nice aroma once it’s split.


This will fill in the last middle row.


Oak is more scarce, that’s why we have more softwoods.

Yes, people managed to cut and dry loads of it in the last few weeks because we had a heatwave.

I put 3 more trees in the log pile today.

Finally about done cutting my pile of logs. Then on to splitting.

I felled two more Beech today, one hit the ground and the second Beech had to be dragged out of a small Basswood I thought it would miss.

I'm not sure what type of fighter jets fly out of Fort Drum but it looked like a Raptor F-22 that gave me a little wing flap while going over while I was pondering how to get the Beech down, glad it was ours.

Picture 0271 is the first Beech on the ground, in picture 0273 you can see the fresh dirt from where I dragged it out of the small Basswood. Both are bucked up ready for splitting once the rain and wind pushes through.

So today I made a firewood crate for the 30" wood for the shop.It is only 40 with rain so I fired the stove up. Then I did something I haven't done in about 20 years for lunch,cooked a hot dog over the fire in the stove.

Storm damage, never left the property.

I had a few things earlier this morning we did but I was able to clear the back gully (first 2 pics) so the wife can use it for walking and I can get the splitter in there to split some ash.

After the above was done, I went up top where I had felled some Ironwood the other day and grabbed the rest.
