lol tom. that's reached the level of ridiculousness! i was just out at my pile today thinking "not too shabby". i may have a grand total of 5 cords here :D
 
Got that twinstem oak dragged back up

Figure I got about two cords from that big oak I felled last week, counting the big chunk still left down in the field waiting on that ported 084 to slice and dice it. That remnant chunk, rounding of some numbers, @56 cubic feet, so that plus what is in the pics here. I imagine Josh will haul back one of the big rounds after he noodles it into oblivion...

Got two and a half decent trailer loads brought up, this is the last, the "half". A buncha the larger rounds needed the fiskars treatment to bust them in half just so I could pick them boys up. A few bops down the middle and across, then one big whack in the middle..pop! man I love me some straight grained oak...

Slung a lot of branches and smaller rounds into the general pile to the right in the stack pic.

Here's the stack progressing, this is the third big row of pure oak, I pitched some of it on the second row behind it as I still had room

Each one of those oak rows, with two cords of pine and poplar and small sweetgum, for morning and shoulder season wood, would do me for a winter. So with what I have in my other main stack pile I am four winters out now. And I have two big hickories and three fat pines down waiting to be bucked and hauled. I'll see how much I can get to until mud season shuts me down.
 
Finally got some wood moved up to my wood shed, 'bout 2 cord, mostly Red Oak. :D All I gotta do now is stack it.....:msp_tongue:
.....thinkin' I'm gonna need maybe another cord to finish it off.....('bout 1[SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]4[/SUB] cord leftover from last winter already in the shed)

That shed gonna be slap full when you are done! Man, it's nice to finally get to the stacking splits part. That's like money in the bank accruing interest at that point.

I still have a LOT of Fiskars action ahead of me..but..haying is done and pasture mowing and finish mowing will be slowing down real soon now, so in the winter..I got time to split! Mostly in the winter I can really only walk in and fell, then wait for dry season again to go get it cut to size and hauled. The ground just doesn't freeze good enough here to take the tractor in much. It freezes *some*, but not deep enough. Late summer/early fall is the best time here or getting into and out of the woods and fields with any sort of loads.

Ayuh, you're right, money in the bank!!! :biggrinbounce2: This is the first year we're "ahead" on firewood, and right now I'm cuttin' trees for 2 years out!!! :eek:uttahere2::clap::eek:uttahere2:
Yes it will be full, if we get a "normal" long cold winter I'll need just about every stick of it to keep the wife warm and happy. ;)
Fall and winter are the best times to work outside up here, NO BUGS! :hmm3grin2orange:
