    I picked up a load of White Oak rounds 24" dia. and a load of White Pine of good size. Then I got two Oak beams 12" x 12". Heavy as all heck, used a forklift to load them. I've got 3 more of them to get except those three are 8 footers. This wood will be working towards the 5 yr. plan. I will definetly have to split them as God and Backwoods Savage intended, vertically. DSCN2253.JPG DSCN2254.JPG DSCN2255.JPG DSCN2256.JPG DSCN2257.JPG

    Wow! I think I may have gotten a hernia just looking at the pictures. Heavy stuff for sure but really looks great.

    Yes sir, those get to be a real wrestling match sometimes. Nice looking firewood though.

    Great pics! Figured out the phone camera? Those beams are something else.

    Ahem, we interupt this thread to go watch the Bruins game. If there's one thing we love it's a Stanley Cup, should be a good one! Wish us luck.

    Lord Stanleys cup was won by the best team.

    Nice load of wood. I met my brother and Brother in law yesterday and it was agreed any company doesn't make any thing except gloryfied grocery carts today. You have to place a order in order to get one with a 8 foot box. And they still won't allow you to delete the carpets and get rubber mats instead.


    Ford maybe it will take it. they won't warranty it though.

    :D Al

    Almost to nice to burn. Note I said "almost. Vertical splitting has its place for the big ones.
