    Super happy to see this load show up, I have been plagued with supply problems. But finally connected with a reliable supplier. Of course it started dumping rain the minute he showed up!

    Yessir, this would be a 13 cord load. Up here we deal in face cords and a load like this is generally 35-40 depending on how gnarly the wood is. This wood is pretty straight so I am expecting close to 40.

    Yep mostly white with a bit of yellow. The locals up here call the yellow Merisier, which translates to cherry. Comes from many moons ago when early settlers here noticed similarities with wild cherry (europe) and the yellow birch, and it has stuck all these years.

    Yeah, he is really good. My place is not easy to back into with a rig like that, he made it look easy. Took him maybe 25 minutes to unload, sweep the decks and get going.

    Bingo! Looks great. I would save the yellow birch for the coldest part of winter.

    Thats a beautiful pile of logs. Ideal for a wood processer. How are you turning them into firewood?

    I wish I had a processor, maybe in a few years. For now, it is chainsaw and a Splitfire 2265.
