Thought this was kind of cool - the cartload of wood I brought in last night has 10 different species of wood. We are pulling from the back side of our wood shed this season. It’s all 2 to 3 year old mixed stuff that got stacked in first from the old tarp pile after I built the shed. I know I’ve also got cherry, sugar and soft maple, poplar and black oak back there. Beech, Black Birch, Locust, Ash, White Birch, Apple, Eastern Red Cedar, Hickory laying horizontal on the top left and then check me on the one on the bottom right (I believe it’s red oak) and the one laying horizontal on the top right (I believe it’s white oak - it’s stringy).
Quite the assortment. That has to be some sort of FHC record! Nice looking stuff and ill bet it burns like a dream. Love that shed too!
I’ll pay more attention to each cartload now. Try to beat 10 species in the cart at once. When I decided to build the wood shed I took everything out of the stacks I had tarped a tossed it all into one big pile on the driveway. Then I continued to split from three separate piles of wood - roadside scrounged wood, property harvested wood and some stuff left in a pile by the old owners. So everything got mixed up pretty good. When my wife and I restacked it all into the new woodshed we didn’t pay any mind to keeping it separated by type or age. You can still see all this in the Google Earth image for my area that’s just about two years old now.
ive said it before: You might be a wood hoarder if your wood pile is visible from space! Should be one of the requirements to join FHC! It'd be funny if it was!
