I showed my wife, she likes all things Ireland. Her parents both had Irish surnames, and were from an Irish neighborhood in Buffalo, New York.
Plus I save many pictures to get ideas from.

Thought I was finished processing firewood for the year. But, there were several recent storms that brought down Oaks of Opportunity for me. And the Mother's Day weekend temps this morning were in the 20's (F). So, I pulled my log arch out and collected a couple long straight, dead poles to start a new stack:
There in the upper right corner is a glimpse of the most recent oak that was uprooted by wind. Good news, it fell right beside one of my nice level stacking areas. Bad news, it fell in to a thorny mess that will be painful to work through. I usually like to work these areas with about a foot of snow buffer. Not likely anytime soon.
Here is another picture of the tree with my Son up top for some scale:

Yesterday when I cleared some trails of dead pine, I noticed this maple mother nature topped off so I bucked it up today. I also bucked up an ash tree I felled a few days ago
Picture 0359 is part of the maple on the ground, in picture 0360 you can see what was left standing of the maple which I took care of, 0361 is the maple bud from the tree,0365,0366 and 0367 are some maple rounds and the rest are of the ash.

Here is some of the willow I have from last year. It's bone dry.
I have about 6 times this much waiting to be brought up from where I cut it. Most of that is green.
I thinned out a hawthorn hedge today and burnt the cuttings along with all the old rotten wood and timber I had lying around the place.
Here is some noble fir that I have to stack, a lot of it is dry.
Also, I fixed the date and time on my camera just for your @mountainguyed67

I thought you liked being a month ahead of everyone. Ha ha.
Cleaned up, bucked, split, and de-barked a wild Cherry tree that came down along the edge of my woods. It is still green, and sloppy moist. I have visions of a time when the smokers are back on their hobby (or profession) and come looking for some fresh Cherry. My very limited experience, they don't buy much at a time, and can't pay enough for it.
Still adding to the log pile. With the kids out of school, daily cutting and splitting has become their PE for the day....
I got a little cut split and stacked the other day. Every time I went out it would rain. The temps here have been 30-32 in the mornings, sick of cold.
Yesterday I switched it up and made this plasma table from a old catch basin top I grabbed from work.

8 cord truck loads of hardwood goes for around $1300-$1500 here in Southern Ontario, Canada.
I have a good contact with a logger for $1000 for same.
Thanks for that response. The higher end is approaching what you can buy it split and delivered for here.
Pics like that will give me evidence that I need to buy a bigger loader. Being able to move roughly a half cord at a time fits right into the outdoor burner I want to install this year. It’ll prolly be next year but I can wait
Looking good, Al. Plenty of good logs to go in the pile, should keep you busy.
Having a loader is a big game changer thats for sure. The crates in the pics are about 1/3 of a cord and with wet wood thats all my little tractor wants. Once seasoned just right.
Cowboy I wish I had you for a neighbor I could keep you busy for awhile. LOL
True.
I wont pay $1300-$1500 for a load.
Way too high for logs in my opinion.
I may as well look for some guy selling good woods at decent cut/split prices.

Started splitting my rounds yesterday....
I'd like to find a bunch more of those (free) plastic pallets. I love those things.

I paid $1000 here in NH this year. Last year was $900. The guy always brings me nice stuff. This year I've got a ton of White Oak in the load.
