    Since Well Seasoned posted a video of his stacks (And I dont want to hijack the thread) ;) - I'll start it off.... My family don't even blink anymore,they understand how much hard work is involved in this lifestyle,especially since I do 100% of this my self now for the past 15 years or so.:saw: :axe: :whistle: I kinda goofed when filming about half way through,didnt realize that camera was turned sideways,so you'll have to tilt your necks to view the last part unfortunately :emb:


    So don't be shy ladies & gents,post away & share your hard work with all of us here..... :cool:

    I think I'm way off on guessing the weight,its probably closer to 12-13 tons more likely.A lot of wood crammed in a small space.That biggest Honey Locust round (roughly 36" diameter x 35" long) has to be 1000 lbs by itself.

    Neat video, Thistle. There are stacks and heaps and piles in every nook and cranny. Ready for winters to come. Good job!

    You can see some of it here in the video I took earlier this year. I don't have too many pics anymore on the ipad.. I will try to remember to get some later on the phone. There is about 10 cord on my property and 20 cord stored on other property's. This is all filled up now and then some too my property is getting really full! I might actually run out of space here and on the other storage property's.

    Your splitter needs a lift kit! Looks like it was built for someone 4ft tall!

    interesting column of wood but no roof on it! Do you move the winter wood in closer to the house so it is easier to get at?

    I have forks on my tractor to move the stacks to my wood shed. Some stacks have roofs.

    A quick walk through here at my house, but we usually process in the lot behind my office and I've got about a cord of locust and oak there that needs split too. My diesel powered splitter is over at my dad's so my brother Tim, "TurboDiesel" here on the forum, can process some dead oak they dropped there a couple months ago:
