Cleaning up the last of this seasons logs, most of this wood has been sitting out a couple years, but off the ground
661 R w/25
Hickory log will have to wait until it's scanned for metal. Two large eye bolts were visible & it's possible there's more buried .

Filling up the second half of the shed. stacking it up but will finish by tossing in when the stacks are over 6'.
Firewood season starts here tomorrow so I cleaned up my little 1% splitting area last Saturday.
Burn pile (The small stuff is cherry. The large stuff is red oak - which I might fish back out):
Splitting Area for the 1% (Pile is ash with a little red oak on top. The little A-frame is loaded with red oak.):
One of my log piles (I believe it is all red oak. I have a small mixed pile stashed in the woods):
99% of the wood I cut goes here (I expect to take them a load or two of small cherry logs in the morning.):

What's that expression you guys use... Beats ECI any day?
Having never been there I'm not sure I can make that claim, so let's just say I'm under no illusion of how lucky we are to be "stuck" in our little corner of the world at the moment

Almost 3 loads of cherry this morning to the big lot.

12 crates (384 cu ft / 10.9 cu m) loaded, ready to roll out. Best side facing out, rolling down the road its like free advertising.
Tighter spot that it appears but we made it fit.
That's a heck of a lot of firewood. Makes my pile look dinky.
I'd kill (not really) for all that Cherry! I've got a new guy that would every bit I could get. What does the processor do with the Cherry you supply? Firewood or BBQ smoking wood? I had a person reply to my BBQ wood ad wanting a load of my Cherry to use for heating. I told her I reserve my Cherry for BBQ buyers and sold her a load of oak. Then I sold the Cherry to the guy I mentioned. He supplies restaurants around the St. Louis area.
I'm switching around my wood area a little. I kept a tote basket down the hill with the bulk of my firewood for green cutoffs as i cut. Then I keep another tote basket on my driveway for the seasoned cutoffs. I'm in the process of moving my winters supply into the houses racks so I unloaded the basket down the hill into my truck and then filled the basket on my driveway. Then the light went on. A lot of extra work. Now, I've both baskets on the drive; one for green and one for seasoned. Makes sense since I do my splitting on the splitting on my drive. Tarping them was always a hassle, so I made some roofs from scrounged lumber and shingles. Not a tarp gets wrapped around.
The full basket is my seasoned one. The wood rack in the back ground is for camp wood and gets shingled and tarped too.

Hopefully the last load of firewood 
Found this little one in the wood pile
And some acorns sprouting must have been a chipmunk nest
Also some red and English oaks as far as I can tell growing

Rolling in 2 cords to the kiln. The boss using a post driver maul to push in some stick so it fits by the door opening.
The processor is the local firewood ministry. Other than hickory which several BBQ restaurants buy, the rest is given to folks as firewood. Like you, I would think someone would want that good cherry smoke filling something other than a wood stove chimney.

Well I finished filling the shed today, tossed in what I could over the stacked wood. Still more log length to go but almost done. Getting a fresh truck load for next year .
Here is this winter's wood pile, note the skidsteer to the left side in the picture. There's another row in behind as well.
Nice logs. The sawyer in me says you should sell that to a local sawyer if you don't already saw yourself.
But the firewood cutter in me say, man, that will split some nice.
That's a BIG operation for giving away firewood. Good for them.
One of three piles. As fast as I split , I have more trees to come down.
Have plenty of racks full now, can only spend an hour or 2 each week to this pile.
