Dead Beech

I always took what was on the ground except for a few that were hollow at the base, we love the heat it provides.

 

I hauled the splitter up the hills today and split all the rounds I had bucked up. I also have some left from the first four trees I felled and split & stacked but I don't think there's enought for another two face.

Attached are some pictures from today, it rained some when I was splitting the second tree today but it didn't last long.

 

I did some cleanup in this spot where I stacked a face cord of Beech from the last two trees, there's still more up top from the last two trees and even more left from the first five Beech I c/s.

I'll get the Birch rounds out of the area to the left of the Beech I stacked today and stack what is left of the Beech and if I have to, mix some American Hophornbeam in with it to make a full face cord.

After I get this done I'll either be s/s the Ash off the backhill or before that fell another three or four up top so I have more work ready once everything leafs out.

 

I picked up the splits that were left from the last two Beech I felled (0294) and then went over to the splits left from the first five Beech I felled (0295) and filled the trailer (0296) and stacked it.

I used some Ironwood that I brought off the hill to finish this stack.
