WinonaRail's Wood Yard

A 2x2 stack of mixed hardwoods is on the way to a new home.

Dam that is a very clear camera shot

 

That is a cellular camera, total distance about 35'. They have the option to download hi-res pictures as well (which I would do if I ever needed to report a theft. I have another that's a bit closer on the roadside stand side of the driveway. It takes video as well as stills.

 

Took another afternoon off yesterday and enjoyed some decent weather. After refilling the roadside stand, I finished splitting some maple and moved the tote to storage.

Mini bundles heading out. Venmo was the payment method. I love making sales while I'm busy doing other things.

Looking good, my friend. Glad you are having better weather

 

First customer of the day picking up a loose stack of hickory and 2 bags of kindling. I'd love to try whatever he'll be smoking today!

Mebbe comp him with a free bundle of something if he brings some meat back?

 

Absolutely!

X2.

Maybe a sign near your smoke wood offering to barter BBQ for wood. A few logistical thoughts would get-er-dun.

 

I like how you think. I might give it a try!

Another productive day at Pinnacle Firewood. There were noodles on the menu as I carved up a couple big maple rounds. I relocated my limb wood cutting station and I'm ready to build a log rack (lumber is cut and ready). I also staged a bunch of oak cutoffs to split.

More customers rolled in. One just grabbed a pair of campfire bundles. The next one was driving 2 1/2 hours across the top of the state and popped in for a 2'x2' and a 2'x4' stack along with 2 bundles of kindling. I had to refill the stand twice (morning and evening).

Mebbe you should have a drive-thru?

"Can I get fries with that bundle of cherrywood"

Hopefully its busy til the Fall.

 

If I can make a buck on them I'll gladly offer fries! Even super size!

Got the last of the tree service maple load bucked up Friday. Shorts split and moved to storage. I even spread most of the mountain of wood chips (probably 2+ 16' dump trailer loads). Now the area opposite the firewood stand looks much better.

I finished a project today before the storm came in. I ordered a bucket holder bracket for my zero turn. Now the trash bucket is out of the way but I can still pick up trash with the grabber and drop it in the bucket without getting off the ZT.

Had a decent smoker wood sale. Three bundles each of apple, sugar maple and cherry plus a bundle of hickory and white oak and a bag of Bradford pear to boot. Couple other small sales since new years. Couple ads on FBM. My 100 bundle guy called and an order was delivered to him last week. My other locals have gotten deliveries too.

 

That's great! Are you doing meet ups for the small quantities of smoker wood?

Yes. Commuter lot less than five minutes from storage and local PD. This particular one I brought to the guys house as he was not far from the job I was doing.

My minimal smoker order is five bundles.

 

Are you advertising that as a meeting location? Seems like that would streamline the conversation with the customer.

Just a few glimpses into the getaway we're on this week. I brought work with me but still had a little time to get out and see some beautiful sights.
