WinonaRail's Wood Yard

How high does zoning allow you to build, especially with a non-permanent structure? Just wondering if you could elevate a rack enough to get more sun if you could face it in the proper direction. I have about 2 acres of open ground behind my barn and line IBC totes 2 high facing south. All the sun and wind you can handle.

 

It's good to have some notice!

 

That 8' ra

That 8' rack is some pretty stuff. Nice work as always!

 

I've had cherry that sat a while. Outside was bone dry and punky. Heart wood was solid and a bit wet. Totally pristine and good to go.

 

If you have enough 8" or longer and straight (preferably without bark), I'd bag that and sell it for a premium. Everything else I would bag as chunks at a lower price but still comparable to other smoking wood chunks.

 

The rack is more or less going to be a divider to fit into an overhang where ive stacked bundle wood in the past. Gets some afternoon sun. Since ive abandoned storing bundle wood here (for now) i figured id utilize the space. Also a two cord rack behind the shed that i can store some too.

 

Yes cherry heartwood lasts a long time. In the future I'd like to build an Adirondack chair from cherry heartwood, as well as the other rot resistant woods I scrounge.

 

Smoker wood? It seems to be good for smoking meat.

Smoking with Crabapple Wood?

 

Come to the GTG

 

Stack as much as you can! I'm really focusing on bundle and smoking wood (small amounts) right now to maximize profits while I don't have a skid steer to move bulk wood. I might need to learn some tips from you.

 

Cut and split the rest of the apple this morning. 1/4-1/3 came out full length and split straight. I had an idea of selling the chunks by weight? Weigh a few bundles of dry apple and have the same but by the chunk and in a bag. Thoughts? These were some bags I had already filled just to store chunks/shorts for storage.
