    All of this has been cut since late winter-notice how all the oak on the far left still has color-the beech, maple and ash is all cracking and turning color---all the wood uncovered up the field is red and white oak along with pignut hickory-thats for '16-'17 as is the double-row oak in first bay-A friend has me a ton of oak to cut this weekend-he's gonna grapple the logs with a backhoe at waist height while I cut it-good friend clearing a house site and road...been friends since second grade... image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Beautiful looking wood, shed and stacks! :yes: Looks like you have quite a bit more outside your shed with more oak coming! :thumbs: How much more are you planning to cut this year?

    Are your stacks two deep or three in your shed?

    I started going gray years ago. My preference is grey splits that are lighter.

    Right where I want to be.
    Started turning gray when I was about 18.
    I'm older than that now, and much more grey.
    That young woman reminds me of "Rose" on 2.5 men.

    The saying is "I dont care what turns gray, just worried about what turns loose" I too have my share of gray-in the woodshed is where I prefer it most...someone mention dogs? The "queen boss " dog boxer Savvy, the accidental dog Sophie (half boxer-half huskey) and the abandoned neighborhood dog "Speck" image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Fanatical1 = 2 deep, 8' long, 6' high x 2 per bay=1 cord, plus uglies thrown in between all stacks-expanded metal floor-gooder airflow, the shed contains 4.5 cord as is, the uncovered up the bottom is 1.5 cord-I burn on average 3.5 per yr so the 3 yr plan is in sight-lots of oak coming for '16-'17-'18 and I still have cherry, locust and elm cut off the stump waiting to buck, S/S in the fall-I'm done for now in this heat and snake season...but I still have neighbors bringing me storm damage and the friend clearing the house site
