Ive accumulated quite a bit of fresh splits at my friends from recent scores. Been able to get them split but been dragging my feet getting them stacked. Got more pallets recently and decided to do some stacking. Rather than use pallets i opted to crib the ends. Lots of half round cherry splits made it easier. The stacks are in his front yard so he gets to look at my work! First pic before i started and the mound of splits i stacked today. Pallets are 40x48 and set on 4x4 sleepers I was pulling cherry splits from a different area for the front row and had to leave. Ill finish with more cherry and continue adding more pallets parallel. Stacks are 5'x10 so tight half cord in each row. View from the back. Wood is red maple, ash, and cherry. Have a bunch of rounds there to split as well. Ash, sugar maple and cherry.
~pout~ I love playing cribbage. Been playing it for years. I open this thread and find this? ?? Pfftt Oh...nice looking stack. The cherry looks real nice crib'd like that. Well done, even without a single 15 for 2.
Crisp corners on them there Stacks....looks as if you used a level and a plum-bob. Nice presentation Buzzaw!
Multiple reasons for the sleepers. Keeps all the pallets bottoms on the same plane...level. Saves them from rot. Better air flow underneath. Props it a little higher to lessen bending fatigue. Also only two so when the pallets sag in the middle it pulls the stack inward so it wont tip (i hope). I get cull lumber dirt cheap so i utilize it for the stacks.
This is what we all really love to see. All split and stacked it's a thing of admiration. Keep those pic rollin'.
That’s like looking at one of those satisfying videos only in a picture. The OCD Factor is taken care of. Nice ones Brad.
