You should be a Yooper! Cribbage seems like the local pass-time there. Geeze. I haven't played it since leaving the UP.
Excellent stacking Brad. But I'm wondering why you use pallets? Also, that looks like a lot of cherry in there. Do you always get a lot of that? I actually don't cut much of it but do cut some. There just does not seem to be much for btu in cherry but then, I usually end up comparing it to soft maple, elm and ash.
Been using pallets all my life. Ive always got a lot of them for free. Roof shingles are stacked on them when dropped at job sites. Dont do much roofing anymore, but all of my supply houses have them for the taking. All sizes, shapes, species. Scrounged a mahogany pallet years back. Dismantled it and made an adirondack chair for an ex GF. I dont normally get cherry in quantity. Not one of my favorites but the wood was clean, green and straight grained. Three things i like in a score. This is mixed with ash and red maple. Some sugar maple mixed in from today's splitting. With my pot luck scrounging, i never know what my next score will be. This happened to be a score that led to more and more from the same source. Building lot being cleared then a tree job i did. I could get more next week or a year from now. Makes for an interesting hoardinglife! Wood Score Makes for a Cheerry Monday & me Tarzan, you buZZsaw! were the threads for cherry.
That's some impressive stacking buZZsaw BRAD , well done my friend!! I started using pallets, hec I still have some stacks sitting on them, but to many termites around these parts after a summer bottoms usually fall out on me.
Did more stacking and splitting today. Played more "cribbage" as well. Finished third row (all cherry), set another row of pallets. First load of cherry when i started today. Cherry splits i stacked today. When i left. Room for two more rows then more pallets needed. some rounds left to split.
Thanks for all the pics and the good ideas! Stacks look awesome. Something purely to look at this summer! We’re lucky to have you here on the forum I call the pieces you’re using to crib the ends one-hitters. I love splitting that size wood and they work so good for making the ends of the rows strong.
Thanks. Been a member for 14 months and have really enjoyed it. Sharing my hoarding adventures, ideas, pics etc. Lots of good laughs too. I also enjoy seeing what other FHC folks are working on. Scores, saws etc.
Split and stacked the rest of the wood there going on this rack. A little more cribbage, but not much. Have a couple scores for more wood here. Will get more pallets too.
Ok buZZsaw BRAD be honest, you're contemplating making this a career right? You must be! Soon you will have too much inventory and will need to have blow out sales. You are the "Crazy Eddy" of wood hoarding! Haha. Great stacks as others have said and it's even more impressive to me that you have been bucking, splitting, and stacking that pile all while hoarding the wood for it in such a short time! Let me save you the trouble and post this emoji for you You deserve this too
Once again, awesome looking stacks Brad. I like the color contrast between the cribbing and the main stack. Beautiful!
Those stacks will stand the test of time! So, Brad, when do you start selling? I know you've been supplying your friend with the boiler, but what about the nice clean splits? Are you going to let it season over the summer, and deliver in the fall?
The cribbed stacks are mostly for bundle sales....9-12 months from now. Lesser quality splits go into "general cordage" for sale or use.
So we've got that to look forward to! I think everyone here will want a buZZsaw BRAD branded bundle, for display purposes!
Split more wood from last weeks load and finished another row with mostly cherry and some sugar maple. SS for an hour. Have room for another row (half cord) and did get more pallets to keep it going. May stack the green black locust ive been cutting here. Found a nail while splitting the cherry.
Looks sweet Brad! It all adds up, don’t it? I’m about to the point where I will need to get more pallets to keep the stacking going. Time to scrounge
