Wood Stack Pictures

Irontrees stacks

I love this stuff. It is great looking at how everyone stacks. I experiment with different stuff every year. This year, I used a bungee cord that drops through the center of a stack and is attached to a plywood roof on a couple of my stacks. That way, it wont blow off, and as I pull wood, it just lowers on down. I have about 4 cords, mostly red oak,bur oak, seasoned for about a year. Took pics with phone. Sorry, I'm into saws, not cameras. How do you keep the pictures normal size when you attach?

Nice pics irontree.

To keep pics closer to the same size, make sure they're formatted in a JPEG version. There is also a BMP version, but it's of higher quality and therefore has a larger file size. You can't post over a certain file size or pixel size when posting pics on here. The only other way is to either publish photos on a website of your own that you use, and then copy the file address, or else upload photos to an online photo website, that allows you to create an album or gallery.

I'm also into saws more-so, and am just getting into the wood stacking. So I don't have a lot cut, but after I buck up the stuff I skidded recently, my stack should look a lot bigger. If no one looked at my newest thread, I posted some pictures over there of the wood that I cut, and the stack with wood from before. Hopefully the newest stuff that i'm going to be cutting will fill that stack up good.

Here's pics of the newly built wood rack with some ash, mulberry, maple, cherry, and some ash on the ground, waiting to be split. I took the idea from Shari. I thought it would be neat to have the varieties of wood separate.

And here's the basement wood storage rack, with the leftover wood for emergency use last year. That is just some stuff that I salvaged from my first venture out in the woods a couple years ago or so. The rest got put in another shed, and is in the pictures on the outdoor wood rack. This will be my first year that I hope to run the furnace the majority of the time. Have to get a few things done to the chimney and furnace yet, but I need to get the wood cut first or else i'll have another year to worry about the furnace, and no wood.

that's a sweet looking spot you've got there, ProMac1K.

Seems like a number of you have a fair amount of land and space to work with... congrats!

I need to figure out how to load some pics... I keep getting load failure as the file sizes are too large. Camera makes jpg or jpeg that are like 10x larger than what AS permits and that's on 'normal' pic. IDK Spend my time hunting for wood and then when I finally gets some, cutting/splitting/stacking.

Load them to your 'puter and resize them.

Thanks Promac1k

If you need help splitting, I will grab my trusty 6 pounder and head your way, Promac1k Thanks for the info on the pictures. I think I will try again.

This pic is from June, but the pile has since aged to a wonderful silver/grey.
The wood is typical hardwood mix that used to be treeline along a neighbors field.
The pile is 9' tall in the center, and 20' diameter.
Showed the Mrs. the Supersplitter, " stop wasting time, and get one". Who am I to argue.

 

[BigPITA]

We'll see if I can get this 're-sized' pic to load. Pic is of a load we got a couple weeks back (it's since been split! ).



If it works, I'll have to try some more.

That seemed to work... now just need to figure out how to put the pics in the post instead of a link.

Looks like someone spilled a giant bag of candy!

Thanks woodlumn! I spent day after day, thinking where I was going to start stacking the stuff. Finally it hit me, this area is blocked by the north wind, gets full sun all day, and is in a spot where there isn't any commotion. I'd like to build a lean-to off of the shed, we'll have to see how burning goes first.

Hey there BigPITA, do you have any image editing software? Such as Microsoft Paint? I think you can edit the pixel size on Paint, I found some other free software, and have tried some trials. If you can get a hold of an old version of ACDSee, that's what I used to use and loved.

Pics look great, irontree! I do need help splitting! I tried some ash once, and it about threw me to the ground on my back. Maybe I have to put a different edge on the new maul, or else find a bigger crack in the grain. I may be able to get a hold of a splitter to rent, if not, I may just noodle the stuff down to maul or wedge splittable size.

Cool piles, Chuck! LOL on the supersplitter deal, that's the way!

Well, I thought I had fixed the 490, put a different vent valve on the fuel tank, thought it ran good. Well then it acted up, was loading up. I took the valve off of the tank, and heard a vacuum release. So I thought I would turn it upside down and try it. There are no arrows, but the body is slimmer on the one side. I thought I had noticed an improvement, and then retuned it. I got a few cuts made, and it started loading up again. Totally untunable...... So I got fed up and said it's time to call it a day. Now i'm getting bored again, but I think I may start limbing with the big trusty 385xp again. :censored:

Here's a few more, taken a few months back. This will be our wood for '09/'10 winter and we hope it lasts!

Dang,Wdchuck! How much wood have you got stacked up behind the pile in front?

Just a little pile of black locust for fence posts.
