It does look a lot like silver maple. These pics are of a large silver maple blowdown I scrounged several years ago. Very similar. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Those kindling crackers look pretty beefy. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones in that I haven't purposefully made kindling in about 15 years. I...

Thanks. That's an added bonus is that I like the aesthetics of my firewood stacks (call me crazy). I live out in the woods, so I'm not concerned...
Looking forward to seeing a picture of your setup when your done. I would love to have a lot of the totes, especially to move splits around with...
When I was first experimenting with the cinderblocks/PT boards, I was using engineer stakes (t-posts for the civilians) but it was such a PITA to...
