it is a great picture but im afraid to ask her about the pig sticker and crowbar,she has been known to hang a chainsaw in the kitchen
I would get a big YOU SUCK if I told you how much I paid for that Stihl splitting hatchet. My daughter loves that thing, she was splitting little chunks and cookies the other day. Start 'em young! Btw $25 on that pretty hatchet, and the half machete is one of my fav tools. Scored that in a box of rusty gold for a buck at an estate sale. The crowbar/pry bar... why not! I find them useful for lots of things.
Here are the chunks from the two mega red maple rounds stacked in the Jeep. These are gonna be split down further.
The pile o' chunks overlapping a pile of stove length branchy pieces, all in front of 1/5 cord stack of red maple with some cherry on top.
Here is some progress pics fro this week. I went down and cut and noodled 90% of the red maple I had left to process in the neighbors yard. It has been three weeks since the tree was dropped.
So all these chunks were noodled off a huge hollow trunk section. Just have two more big chunks left to noodle.
Nice work your kicking butt and taking names :stacke: doesn't look like you getting any help out of your dog, but that's okay
I was a little overwhelmed at first by the volume of wood, but slow and steady I have worked my way through it. Three weeks to move a whole tree, a few hours here and there when I could. Still have two chunks left to noodle and load up, then it will be all here!
Today I am stacking a pile of the red maple that I split on Friday. Picked up some treated 2x4s from the 70% off bin and make racks in the little bays in my pallet fence. Working like a charm! More pics in a bit, still stackin'!
Dusky, those 2 x 4's would be stronger if you put them the other way. But if not, then perhaps you can put some cement blocks under them. I'd suggest 2 or 3 under each rack.
Don't take those wood shavings for granted, they make great bedding for furry critters like rabbits and mice, all natural and red maple and ash are completely harmless to them if they chew on it.
