Stopped by one of my spots on the way to a buddy’s. Found a fresh dump of 18-24” DBH red oak and maple. Don’t have any room for rounds but wanted to run the Stihl for a little. Some of the wood was too heavy to move or wedged in too tight. It I managed a quick 7 perfect rounds.
Hard to say no to oak like that. Perfect size to work with. Whenever I think I don’t have any more room I grab it anyway and force myself to find space Also bringing home wood under the cover of darkness leaves my wife scratching her head why I always seem to have a pile to split....
Hard to leave knotless perfect oak behind. It’s why I don’t check my spots too often I know what’ll happen
i am a very fortunate and blessed feller. My wife is with me every weekend busting rounds and hauling , stacking , whatever needs done.
Thanks. Built it with my 76 year old pops back in March. Great memories. Three day build. 12x8x6. Holds 4 cords. I burn about 2 a year. Plan is to empty one side each season and then refill. Alternating like that keeps me two years+ ahead. If I want on Long Island I would have built another bay on the left for rounds but it is what it is. Filled with oak,hickory,maple,beech,ash and cherry
Dont blame you for cherry picking that batch. A few rounds are better than none. I do see room for more rounds though.
Gonna have to change your user name to the "Midnight Hoarder"! That was funny. Got a good "LOL" outta me!
