    [​IMG] don't know if these pics will work. First timer here
    Splits are mostly ash but there's also a few cherry logs and some old black walnut tops that where logged 5 or so years ago

    Thanks. I got 24 facecord stacked, probably 8 face split ready to be stacked, and I would guess at least 30 or so in random piles of rounds. Might as well be money in the bank lol

    I'm getting a stove next year. Had to put it off another year because I promised my wife central air. Been selling wood about 5 years now. A little more each year. Last year did a little over 100 face. And my son has a firewood stand too. Can't wait to get a stove though

    Last year was the first year for the stand and he made $944! Not bad for a pretty rural road that doesn't get much traffic. He's saving up for a side by side and "none of those weak electric ones with the batteries. A real gas one." Lol

    Not gonna sit here and brag, but I've met & gotten to know quite a few members here in person. I have made some lifelong friends through this forum. Yes, some of us are a bit salty lol. Stick around long and you'll see people helping one another in myriad ways simply because it's the right thing to do. You'll feel like part of the family very quickly.
