    Nice work Bogydave, how long do you think it will take you to split/Stackk all of that lumber? I believe you do it all by yourself right?

    Very nice looking stack of wood. Also looks like a beautiful day in your pic.

    Week or 2 depending on the weather.
    Sometimes the wife comes out & helps, but not when this cold.

    Thank you as always for the pics, Dave. You do great work, and it must be a joy to work out there!

    -edit- for the record, your uglies look better than most of my nice splits!

    Even though I live in the mountains I always appreciate seeing the scenery you have in your neck of the woods. Keep showing us your pictures! I have birch envy. I havent been able to get any in my stacks this year or last so there isnt any in my near burning future.

    I like the way your stacks lean in and support each other. I'm gonna keep that in mind when it's time to stack and reload

    Nice work Dave.

    I can't help but notice your splitter rarely stands straight up but rather leans a bit. Does this pose any problem for you?
