I’m often taking pictures of wood related activities and miscellaneous observations of a black coffee drinker, so I’ll start a thread in the spirit of brother T.Jeff Veal gittin her done thread. Probably not as organized or prolific as Mr Veal’s, but I’ll give it a go. Just finished off splitting and stacking several ton dump loads of dead oak, so I parked the splitter at this load of hickory. I’ll start processing the hickory next weekend, because the oak was enough for today. My goal is to process everything I dumped over the summer, so I’ll have no excuses left not to fell the dead standing trees in my yard. There is also a big loblolly in the backyard that fell over a year ago that I’ve been dragging my feet about cleaning up Here is the oak I finished splitting and stacking. I cut all the rounds in half before splitting. Didn’t take any pictures of the halves, but these rounds produced a bunch of firewood. It was a lot of work and had me thinking I might be burned out on firewood, but there’s too much work left to be done. Maybe this thread will help me push through the wall and gitr done down in cacilacky.
Most of the Hickory around here is Pignut. It appears there is a few more red oak logs in that pile too. The Hickory was a blow over from spring, but I’m sure it will be a big slow down from splitting long dead white oak.
Nice looking rounds there. I’d love to take a swing with the Fiskars at some big oak rounds like that some day!
Nice set up. Hard to stay motivated sometimes and we do whatever it takes to get it done. Looking forward to watching your progress.
Completely understand that, sometimes there so much left To do it's hard to find the motivation to even get started on any of it. So any way you can find motivation is a good deal, and I for one am looking forwards to seeing a ton more photos, keep up the good work!
This is a biggun. I’m not cutting it down but I measured it with the D tape and snapped a pic. No telling what kind of metal or rock is inside this yard tree. 70” dbh it’s a Willow Oak A few big Pecans
Nice job, brother. Looking mighty good up there, neighbor. That is some nice looking oak rounds...... Keep up the great work. Remember, slow and steady gets things done. Thanks for the mention, too. We try our best, too......
Moving more oak into the basement in preparation for the Thanksgiving blizzard of 2021. jk this is NC and it’s going 60 with a chance of rain on Thanksgiving. I took next week off to work on my piles and fell a So Red Oak that’s been dead for at least 3 years.
