Wonder how its done !

I've rotated the Earth for Polkat......

........ who am I kidding. It was the work of Chuck Norris.

really cool shot broken toys!

NH i like how you added those 2x2s to hold the ends of your rows in place. it'll definitely allow you to get more wood in than if you just criss crossed the end pieces like i've been doing. nice job!

Yeah, was cleaning out the chimney and gutters and thought it'd be a good angle. The pool dirt ring is now my son's putting green.

Ayuh, using "stringers" instead of "cribbing" the ends allows for putting in a bit more wood, and it's also a sure way to keep the end of the rows from falling.....

Chicken coop ?

Cool, never saw any of that rare "helium oak" before...hehehehehe

Nice stack man!

Oh no, he buried the saw under the pile :jester:

Kind of looks like a baseball field from above, with the pool ring making the bases... Nice fence and rows !

No pictures but as of today I am done for a bit.

By my neighbor's calculations with the tape measure I have put up 17 cords. I was thinking 12 but my eyeball math has always been bad. It does come in handy for womenz weight though.

We still have 12-14 sitting in log length in our "log yard" not counting the saw logs for the Amish guys.

I am stoked to say the least especially after being busted up and having a 3 month late start.

Chicken coop ?red oak shed

you dont think i cut up the good wood for fire wood

 

[Denis Gionet]

Ha, I love it !!! Nice boards ! Milled with what, a chain saw mill, or a band saw mill ? They look suspiciously like the cedar I milled with the Alaskan.

Funny thing about Hackberry and Ash for that matter, is, if you cut it fresh, and get it split up quick, it seems to weather way better than if it's dead first, then cut and split... The punk sets in quick under that bark!!!
Bark is BAD!!!!
:hmm3grin2orange:

Same with paper birch and red/norway pine.

In the past with birch logs that are going to sit a bit, I take the saw and make a kerf down the length. Just enough to get past the bark and into the wood.

This at least allows the moisture to escape, at least in theory.

Unless de-barked, the norway needs to be cut/split toot sweet or it goes to crap relatively quickly. I have never tried the kerf trick with the pine though.

well getting there

I am truly at a loss for words. That is incredible and awesome Tom.

Do you have a supplier for the logs or an in with a tree service or logger? If it's all YOU then that cubes the incredible and awesome statement.

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

No kidding, I at least had part of an afternoon to feel good about myself. Now I need some chocolate.:msp_biggrin:

Sitting here reading this thread reminds me of a print my folks have had hanging on the wall since I was little.

It's a guying standing by his woodshed and it has a quote from Thoreau under the image.

It says - "Every man looks upon his wood pile with a sort of affection."

How true, how true.

I believe that is shown here in this awesome thread!:msp_thumbsup:
