    Nice cribs!

    I assume we are looking at the ends of the stacks? My wife wants me to crib our entire stack but there's no way I have time for it.

    Also, what part of West Virginia? My wife has some family in the Huntington area. Pretty country out that way.

    I did that one year......waaay back when I was starting out. Quickly figured out the best way was to only crib it every 6-8 feet, helps stabilize the stack nicely, and still looks very attractive....

    Usually no need to crib the whole stack and when it is done that way it really does not look so nice as a neat pile cribbed only on the ends.

    I've never had anyone tell me these wood stacks (both the same stack) look bad. Although now I've printed that someone probably will. :whistle:

    Those stacks look as beautiful as always, Dennis! No one would say otherwise, because it's simply the truth! :yes:
