I got the locust stacked today and I was surprised at how much was there; it did not look like much on the ground. I also got the oak split, not as much as the locust. It is a mix of white and chestnut oak. I did not moisture test but I am sure it is too wet for this year even if cut from dead trees. I have several dead oaks; two on the ground already by nature, that I need to drop and cut and split and stack.
A while back a member had a thread on his stacking failures, they piles kept falling. That top pic of the Locust on the pallet could serve as primer for cribbing the ends Kimberly . Good job, it shows how to fit the wood together, and criss cross the wood for a new learner. And the locust looks great, showing that yellow/green tint for a new learner as well.
Yes, for now I am sticking on individual pallets; so all the stacks are like that. I stack as high as I can reach and that becomes the height of each stack.
No go there but they are not wasting the wood, it is being bucked into firewood size logs and then I guess stacked and split. They worked some on it today and made a lot of progress on the larger limbs. At least it is not going into a chipper; someone is going to be getting some nice firewood once it is seasoned.
