Those are fine oak rounds and the plan to use R.oak three years out is perfect. You got yerself a whoppin' bunch of wood there and a decent layout...
Ya, good looking wood - both of ' em. Like to see a few finished products sometime in the future. Got my mouth watering with talk of the smoker....
Cannot find the reference, but it stated that outdoor drying does occur in winter if only at about a sixth the rate as in summer. That difference...
'Slottawood! --someone had to say it. Very nice score.
We've had good results planting small whipling trees, 'lil 1/4" dia. 14" tall baby trees. Of course ya wait a few years until they get big and we...
Good job, Dave. Take it at your own pace. Those are some great looking stacks.
That's a good load of walnut - very nice. Your son looks eager to use the saw... in a few years. Prodigious score!
Welcome, Sawdog. Between your avatar and the pic, looks like you have at least 2 saws. It is good to see you here!
A hearty welcome aboard to you both!
Heck yeah, most of that looks like 4 X 4's. Free from the dump? Cool....
Watching this thread because I ordered an IS last week. :popcorn:

Yay, mullberry- love that stuff. Only downside is the twigs & brush are like Velcro. They grab and hold onto every branch within 10 ft. of 'em....
May the w.oak fall where you want it instead of somewhere else... nice stacks!
Seems to me that it will absorb ground water, but only the ends touching. That was my reason for the teepee- there are no splits laying flat on...
Trying to find a word that describes those sheds... ROBUST is the best I can come up with. Great job, Dave! That weed barrier is the "bee's knees".
Some of those 'rounds' look small enough to throw right into the stove. Skip the splittin' step and onto the stack.. I like those kind. Good pics!
Yes. We are 120 miles from where the EAB started in the USA. All the ash are gone except for babies which won't last either. Was thinkin' of...
With a 22-ton splitter, I still split ash rounds with the 8-lb. maul. Then, the splits aren't just tossed into a random heap but made into these...
That is funny. Maybe red oak or willow,,,
