Saved From the Compost

I ran across that this week in one of my rounds, like yours, it was full of queen ants.

 

I don't know much about making boards, Brad

 

They were antsicles with the cold temps. There was a few centipedes that did wiggle about too along with bunches of pill bugs

 

Second load today. Bucked all but two logs that will be mill fodder. Not quite a full load. Had a smaller black birch in the side woods that topped it off. Amazed that for 16 months it had no punk and tight bark. Have to catch up on S/S before going back to tackle the other two piles. Need frozen ground again.

 

Rounds are piling up at storage. Five plus heaping loads from four different scores in 2022. Some has already been split.

 

Heck of a pile there! Nice work.

 

Got another load out yesterday before the storm. Six nails in this one round. On the blind side of the log when i bucked. Chain saw gods were on my side. Rest of the lengths are too frozen to the ground. May be a while to get the rest.

 

Yike. Thats a handful of nails!
Good to see the wood piling up in those stacks!!
