No don't cut the tree anymore, my brother in-law...

Impressive TripleF. I read you don't have a saw, but are the 3' lengths by accident or design?

 

Despite the edits, great pic. Gave me some inspiration for the coming year. Thanks!!

 

Stand them puppies up on end and give them a good wack with the maul, might split right open, that red Maple is real nice splitting stuff

 

Yep, no chainsaw.......all elbow grease.
I actually built a drying rack between 2 trees yesterday and began filling with hand cut pieces. (I'll post pics when it gains
a little height.)
I'd use a chainsaw if I had one, but tis not the case.

 

Those were cut in those lengths with my bare hands.....just kidding. The guy who cut down the tree in February for my bro in-law cut them that size.
He was preparing to make them into smaller lengths when my bro in-law stopped him.

My wife wants to know why I cut and split wood in this God-awful heat and humidity? I told her, so it's dry and perfect to burn in the winter!!

 

You know , being our probably furthest south ambassador of the FHC, I commend you for trying to burn down there when the rest of those folks are cowering in their air conditioned rooms. Kudos my friend!

 

Thank you....we wait for temps to drop below 80 and then it's game on!! We burn wood sit by the fire, smoke cigars, and drink bourbon!! But as it stands now we got about 5 more months til
we see those temps

 

It's supposed to get down into 40's tonight, 52 here now and the windows are open. We are totally enjoying the cool weather.

 

That's my kinda weather bro!!! We never close our windows even when it drops into the 30's!!!

 

Thought I'd update my progerss on this downed tree......I'm hoarding this little pile of red maple for firepit (cigar smoking/whiskey drinking) season.
I know....I know.......it's tiny, but it's what I got!

 

What you have is what you have. It's all good! Being that you are one of southern most members, and not dealing with subzero temps. I think you're doing just fine.:stacke:
