    Haven't bumped the thread in a week or so...we have been doing a little something. Here's a few :ithappened: to prove it...:saw::axe::stacker:...
    Delivered a load of oak to a customer for outside cooking & oyster roaster 0804201209_HDR.jpg
    Next day we split 2 truck loads on the dump trailer for another customer, delivered it 0805201529.jpg Left his house and dropped this dying oak for another friend. Got a decent amount of wood from it... 0805201709.jpg 0805201923.jpg
    Another day, we set up the splitter on the calico shed Midwinter ...
    Started on this pile of hickory 0803201235_HDR.jpg
    Using a trick from jrider since these are smaller logs 0806200951.jpg
    We got about half the stack bucked and staged 0806202141_HDR.jpg I reused the lights from our old chicken pen and mounted them high on the ceiling 0806202138.jpg
    Making some progress, 8' walls
    Yep, I'm learning to crib the ends 0811201323.jpg
    And a really good friend and his wife gave us a little treasure. It was her dad's, they found it when cleaning out some of his buildings. Put gas in it and it cranked up, he has been gone since 2012. 0806201846.jpg

    Thanks for the update! I bet it smells great in the calico shed. It really is huge. Is that your first Husqvarna?

    Some of the hickory smells like a horse...lol...
    Dad had an old Husky 65 when I was a mid teen, so probably 42 yrs since I ran one. I do have a Husky trimmer and blower though.

    Nice gift and work sir. Agree with the smell of freshly split hickory.

    Silly question. Are you using the cribbing to separate different types of wood?

    I hope that's the plan. We have several different woods left on the yard

    Glad Chaz found that. His is similar, I think his is round. Haven't seen it in action, maybe this fall.

    Made it back to the woodyard last night after work. Started about 8 and stopped about 11:15. We finished the hickory we had bucked.
    Shed when we started 0811201323.jpg Splitter area 0817202316_HDR.jpg
    When we finished, should be enough for 3 - 8' tall rows when stacked 0817202317_HDR.jpg

    You like to stay on top of things Jeff and it shows! Does the thinner air up that high season the wood faster?:rofl: :lol: Great work my friend!
