My wood fairu friend stopped by this morning with a PU load of red oak that he cut at his daughter's yesterday. Pretty much the rounds to the right of the shade/shadow. I've now got Pretty much enough inventory to CSS through the winter to reload stacks as I empty them.
There's still more at my friend's daughter's place. Rounds would need to be split/noodles. What's left is the biggest.
I totally agree. 80% of my wood is oak. It works for me, where I have room for 12cord, onsite, which affords plenty of time to let it dry for 3 years.
The rounds of oak are no more. My buddy was wanting to split wood. Who am I to deprive him of that? In the process, I found a good use for fresh cut elm. Yup - makes for a good splitting stump. I have a number of elm rounds now. I'll stack them somewhere and forget about them for a few years before trying to split.
I see a good area to store them in this pic. Straight behind that big tree, across the street maybe 40-50 yards.
I'll probably stack them between a couple of trees at the back of the woodyard. I'll lay a couple of saplings or branches down first, to keep them up out of the wet.
