    splitting and piling is done!
    If I think of it as a cone, I figure 1.13 cord. Seems too little.
    If I think of it as ellipsoid, I get 2.24 cord. Maybe a little much, but I think it’s more realistic.
    I’m going to average them and bias toward the egg.
    Going with 1.9 cord.
    Stacking next.
    Don’t hold your breath


    And the final price was $1400

    Nice work there Mike. :thumbs: Do you noodle the gnarlies or let the splitter do the work? Imagine you dont get much in the way of gnarly stuff out of your woods.

    Making some good progress this week.
    The measure will take some care, stacking on a rounded slope. Lots of measures to get mean heights on the sides.
    Quick measures, me and a tape rule, in the crib, is coming up 1.74 cord.

    Final count!

    MEASURES AND CALCULATES TO BE 1.85 Cord.
    Plus some uglies that I’ll estimate to be 1/20th of a cord.

    Grand Total

    1.90 Cord!
    I’ll have check the entries for the weener
