Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

My oak and apple pile. Little pear little in the front under the blue tarp. I took the rakers way down to give it a good load.im still breaking in the 3120. It’s on its 3rd tank. One or 2 more and I got some milling stuff for it. it was noodling tough pieces today

John reilly calls them rakers and I know he ain’t a poser

John reilly calls them takers and I know he ain’t a poser

Givers are better than takers...

I keep my wood sorted by species & the area neat enough to work efficiently, but I won't win any contests

Yep. I rake the area when I move the splitter...or before if the trash gets too deep.

No trailer, just a 2001 Chevy 2500HD, it ended up easier to just quarter them. Just plain heavy for a 63 year old. I retired at the end 2019 after 40 years in the glass and glazing business. My back, knees, and shoulders are very well used, I gotta try and save what's left of me. My new NorthStar log splitter just arrived today, I have started the assembly but will have to get a friend to help me stand the beam up.

Got it put together, ran it for a bit, seems worthy.

Looks more like 5 guys standing around and 1 lady working, after looking at it twice

Acquired an older 026 a month ago to add to the pack. Went thru it and passed all checks. Cleaned it up and got it tuned in tday. Cut a few test pieces and added to the pile.
Switched it out to 3/8 .050 standard chain on a 20" bar. Wood shavings are collected and used in the chicken coop for insulation and nesting boxes, compost and garden.

FinnKamp, what is the bridge in your firewood stack for? It looks like a pass through.

The third tree outside the picture is not perfectly aligned with the other two. It keeps the the pile straight, the bridge is wider than it looks.
With the peek-through hole in the middle, a bit more artsy look comes as a bonus.

Nice! I wish I was that far out for wood gathering. That's the goal though. Good work

Wow was it cold yesterday...breezy too. I don't know if this was worth it (poplar), but I cut it up anyway. I did have fun...now to go split it. 16 degrees this morning up to 25 now. Time for some work.

Had a leaner that broke off about 6' above the ground, then hung up high in another tree. I had been under-cutting 6' sections, and hoping it would fall - it didn't. So, yesterday I made another undercut and dropped the fresh butt into a plastic feed pan that was also resting on an old piece of plywood.



Used a come-along to drag the bottom away till it fell. My plywood ended up as kindling, and my plastic tub ended up as recycle material. But, it ended up on the ground where I cut it and moved it for split and stack:


Then off to do some processing on a much larger oak that uprooted and blew over about the same time:


This one was green when it blew over, and will need a second season before it will be ready to burn.

My ever-ready Brittany joined me after Church this morning to set into the rounds we moved from the leaner yesterday:



This is some sweet Oak, splits with precision, bark falls off, or is easily peeled. Makes a nice stack of future heat

Did some more mostly oak and hickory got into some ash towards the end of the session. Was able to work till my batteries in the socks died hate having cold feet. Misses bought me heated socks . Works great get about 12 hours out of a 9 v battery.

Well, the “woodpile” in the house was getting a bit low and since I live in Canada and I’m pretty sure we’ll get more snow and cold so I brought a load inside. Here are a few pictures of the journey from the garage to the house. I haven’t even touched the wood covered beside the house and we’re almost February
