    Split until the splitter ran out of gas
    Stacked the wood, made the cross stacked ends & a partial row.
    Then I ran out of gas.

    I like the stacks, but don't like the looks of those long shadows!

    Man that stuff sure splits nice. I have adopted your way of leaning the top rows in. I thought you were who I stole the idea from.:cool:

    Absolutely awesome pics Dave!! Your splits are always so consistent and stacks are perfect, you my friend have a lot of wood!! I would imagine your burning season is the better part of 8 months?

    Awesome as always. You are a perfectionist when it comes to stacking...

    Looks good. One of these days I need to hear the rationalization behind stacking bark down. I missed that lesson.

    Fantastic stacks! Mine NEVER look like that. Working on a big load of mulberry that a tree service dropped off. Nothing is cut square..... Lots of rhombus shaped splits. Not much straight grain at all.

    Thats mulberry for sure, I love it but the way it grows in fence rows you get a lot of twisted gnarly splits
