Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

that ground there is packed, and when you elevate the log you lose distance on your swing, which is really what creates the force. no need for the fiskars, as the maul works perfectly for me...

Ron, I really wish I was closer to be able to help with that ministry. About how many families do you supply wood to in a winter?

I don't really know but they haul between 500 to 700 "loads" a seasons. A load can be a 16' tandem trailer down to a 10' x 6' single axle with a 12' foot dump thrown in for good measure. Some of the hickory is sold or traded to bbq restaurants.

I get the easy end - cutting and a little inbound loading and hauling. The splitting crews probably work the hardest. Outbound loads are loaded by the skid steer then offloaded and stacked by hand.

Local churches rotate feeding the crews breakfast and lunch. The local Food Bank qualifies the recepients. I have so much fun that it is hard to accept the "Thank You"s that are often given. Ron

Had to start filling in the last bay with the latest Pecan tree... I don't think it would weather very well outside...
So much for parking the 4-wheeler in there anymore...

Hopefully finish up the tree in a few days...

Yea... It's a biggun'... You'd think that stuff would split decent having been dead a while and shrunk out of it's bark mostly... But Nope.... Varies greatly from piece to piece...

I don't have any pictures, but I was working 'til dark splittin' cherry and walnut. I had a bunch of "to-do's" this morning so I didn't get started until after lunch. Came home to find a bunch of blow-down off one of our walnuts that's real close to the house. BIL came over with his big ladder and little Tanaka and went up in the tree to take care of the broken stubs, some dead branches, and just do a general clean-up of the tree. I got to do the ground work. I broke out my little Craftsman 2.0 to limb up all the stuff on the ground. Anything bigger than 3" goes on the woodpile, everything else goes down to the burn pile. So I finally got all that cleaned up, along with raking up about a million green walnuts that the wind shook out of the tree. Right around that time the dinner bell went off so I had to stop for a bit. I managed to get back out, fire up the splitter, and attack that cherry "present" I got the other day, along with the larger limbs out of the walnut. I worked 'til dark. Got maybe a little better than 1/3 of a cord, layin' on the ground. I'll finish it tomorrow.
