All split today. Got it stacked up and covered just as the remnants of Harvey showed up. Main stack at 13.5 x a little over 5 high comes in at near 2/3 cord. The rest was 8' and maybe 2.5 high but some was the short ends. So call it < 3/4 of a cord. My initial guess was about 1/2 so no complaints. The way the winters have been the past few years I've been burning under 3 cords making this almost a third of what I need for 2020. Now the somewhat weird part. About 40 years ago the family that lived in the house where this tree grew was murdered. It didn't bother me till I counted the rings. I did it from the inside ( about 120 years). What I was really looking for was to see if there was any change in the growth over the last 10-15 years because this tree had two siblings that came down between hurricane Floyd and Irene. And for that part of the science project there was noticeable increase in growth rate over the last 12 years. That tree got more light and packed on some serious meat. But then when I thought about what the tree was witness to before that I was done counting rings. It was more than I wanted to know and I split up that stump round.
I was wondering how many cords that would require (if there is a season)!! :stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke::stacke:
