The latest load in my collection. A free truck load of Red oak dropped at my door. Another two loads are on the cards if I want them. YES PLEASE! Cheers, BB
Never a doubt. Being an FHC member has taught me one thing...grab as much free wood as you can! Stash it, Buck it, Split it, dry it and burn the knots out of it! I intend doing all the above..........and some! Cheers, Bob
Hi MW, The Red Oak is non-native in the UK. It's a beauty in Autumn and no mistake. Thanks for checking in! Bob
Very nice indeed. I see a smallish double barrel in there. If you know any wood workers, they might want it.
Can you let this newbie know how this would be used by a wood craftsman? You've got me interested Bob
While yours is not a large one, it could reveal some magnificent grain. Maybe cheese or cutting board project?
Way too much, MidWinter! Sunday is normally a day of rest, but not here, not here in murky London. I've been 'Buckin'' the time of my life Got stuff done today. Still got more stuff to do. BB B
Hey Bob, that stack looks a little unstable especially on the right end. But it also looks like some really good firewood.
Hi Dennis, Yes, I agree, the stack does look less than ideal. I need to make some more wood stores to house it all. In time! Cheers, Bob
No real need to make more to hold it all. Just stack it neat and top cover and you'll be just fine. These stacks are gone now but lasted 7 or 8 years. We started taking from them in the 7th year and finished in the 8th year. Burned wonderfully. All we did was stack to 54" high and 3 rows wide. Put some saplings under the stacks to stack on and cribbed the ends. After the first summer we top covered using old galvanized roofing.
