I had bucked up a few downed Maple branches last year, later in the fall I started splitting the other bucked up Maple, with winter coming in I made a decision to get it down so I never did get these rounds, so we'll get this down before the start of August.
W.S., there are some nice size rounds, should make for some nice fires. M.O.H.M.H., if I remember, yes, those are good rounds.
I've left pine like that. In fact I left it a year and a half. Wasn't the greatest but I burned everything and anything last Winter.
