I moved some wood to the deck, this morning. Every time I see similar things, I smile. So, I went for a stroll amongst my stacked wood. More smiles That's all red oak. In my 2nd picture above, I noticed some runoff landing on the face of splits. So I used fallen sticks to adjust the rack cover to cause runoff to fall further away from my splits. I believe with the pictures posted, that it totals ~3cord of well seasoned red oak I hope I can push some to next heating season. I have >1 cord of shoulder wood from 3/20. I hope to use it later this year. It still generated "log snot" when I tried some a few months ago. A mix of red maple and ash.
Looking good MikeInMa I should probably do the same with a couple of my stacks. Whenever it rains (seems to be all the time this past year) a few splits get drenched on the ends where the water runs off.
Like revisiting old friends! A trip down memory lane of sorts. Do you remember where each score came from?
A couple times i didnt have chalk while cutting and used a sharpie to mark the log! Always a couple of them in the PU somewhere.
I have some of the thick lumber crayons as well. They seem to need to be warm to work. Too hard otherwise. Sharpies always work, until they don't.
I used to mark stacks however now I just keep a PowerPoint diagram that (roughly) shows where all my stacks/bins are (not counting the 7-cord firewood shed). Each stack/bin on the diagram is labeled with the month/year when it was made/filled and any other special notes (such as if it is oak or softwood).
I take a picture of the tree when cut and a picture of it stacked which gives me a time reference. I also date a few ends in the stack.
Yeah I never thought of it until I saw a pic on this site of someone doing it. Now I write it on all my stacks. I have a good memory, it's just short..
I figured someone would make a similar comment (but worded much... "differently") at some time.....honestly however my money wasn't on Backwoods Savage!!
