I agree, although it would also be interesting to see how much Sandhillbilly enjoyed this game when he had to process and store this wood separately, and then in 2026 restack it on the trailer and weigh it.
I’ve thought the same thing. Even if it was just bucked to length and let dry for exactly one year, then loaded and weighed again. But that’s a huge amount of effort! I might buck up one or two rounds weight and tag em and try to remember to check them again in a year. I don’t plan on trying to split the elm before then anyway. Only time I’ve seen so much water running out of a cut is summertime cottonwoods
If everyone that played this time would enter again at $200 per guess I’ll do it and split the pot with the winner 60/40
Well, it is mostly elm. If it were me I'd gladly reweigh them every year as they slowly broke down and turned into compost.... awww never mind.
I was thinking if a guy cut and split it into totes...then all your are doing is reloading the totes with a loader onto the trailer. It always amazes me come cleanup time how much saw dust and scraps are left over after cutting and splitting. I guess that is why cleanup is my least favorite part of CSS process.
You're supposed to clean it up? Here its mostly ground cover to keep weeds at bay and lessen the mud factor in Winter. Ill save black locust shards and any scrap that ends up a full split length...16" in my case.
