    The “epic wood day” as my sons call it is each April when we fill the lean to. It holds about 17cords. Just plan to keep piling until then. Might sell a little along the way.

    I remember the pic's from last time but couldn't recall the timeframe. IMPRESSIVE! I know there's plenty of manpower but it is amazing what you got done in short order.

    Dogwood is some hot-burning wood! Greg hit the jackpot there. I only get a few chunks at a time, when someone cuts a limb and leaves it at the dump.

    This one was a pretty mature tree, had about a 14 inch base, might make an all night Swedish torch out of it. It was hard as rock cutting it.

    You are really taking advantage of that expanded paved area, and concrete backstop.

    Hoard on!!

    That pile might require one or two gas re-fills of the splitter. Maybe three.
