Totally been there. Got a cord of ash from a family member one summer. He even split it for me too! Boy was I excited once fall rolled around......
I second that. Ash has a relatively low moisture content when it's live (around 30%, if I'm not mistaken). My stepdad (a life-long landscaper, lot...
Nice stuff Brad! You make the rest of us look like amateurs.
That's some good cribbin'!
Thanks Fanatical! You're too kind. The bark shingles on the holz hausen is actually maple from a score earlier this year. The stuff just fell...

Nice Mike! I'm definitely going to be burning in the fire pit this weekend... with the aforementioned beers.
Higher, higher and higher! The sky is free real estate! [ATTACH]
I started ripping some of the nasty pieces yesterday. I have the crotches and real knotty stuff put to the side and just started working my way...
Thanks cutter! My buddy from VT coined the phrase "Pallet palace" after seeing it. It totally stuck!
What strange times we live in. While furloughed from work for 2 months, I was able to get a lot of work done in the woodpile. But alas, I went...
