The next phase of the process is mostly done. Everything is broken apart and ready to be split horizontally (I’m no fan of squatting down to ground level for hours at a time to split wood) Some more splits from Sunday waiting to be stacked: The gist of things as they are today:
Thanks, I’ll be happy when it’s all finally put away I’ve had good splitting oak and not so good stuff, and this was somewhere in between. I struggled trying to bust the rounds apart with the maul, but thankfully hydraulics prevailed.
I’m trying to get all this splitting and stacking done while it’s still cool outside. I’ve been staring at this for too many months now. What I did between yesterday and today: What’s left to split:
Slowly making progress with the stacking from this score. 4 rows in the shed; each row is 8 feet long tapering from 6 to 5 feet high front to back. One long pile on the left from the past couple days that I haven’t measured yet. The shorter pile on the right is exactly 2/3 cord. What’s left to deal with. Splits on the ground and quarters to process and put away. I’m sprinting to get this buttoned up this week. Enough is enough.
