WinonaRail's Wood Yard

I finally got back into the neighbor's woods over the weekend to pick up more of the rounds that I had cut a couple weeks ago. This load was from one tree. I have one more load of ash to pick up and then I'll go back and cut again.

Nice work, Gary. Staying busy. Looking good

 

You know how it is. There's always work to be done!

 

I got to the last of the rounds picked up from my neighbor's woods this morning. I will get it split sometime today and probably go back this weekend for another round of cutting. Happy Thanksgiving hoarders!

Delivered 30 bundles to one of my local regulars this afternoon. Three others getting an order. 50 to one tomorrow, 100 on Sunday and 30 to another probably Tuesday. The newest store will need some within a week too.
Another heating customer getting his second half cord tomorrow too.

 

Nice looking bundles. They should sell themselves!

 

Busy, busy...that's a good thing.
Nice little shed/stand too, did you build it?

 

Yep. Few years back when he first took over managing this particular store. I need to fix the roof as it was recently vandalized.

 

Great looking bundles as always! Sounds like you're keeping busy.

We got some really nasty weather yesterday so I had a little extra business yesterday. A few customers came out in the snow storm to get some. Most of my loose stacks are gone now but I'll wait until weather improves to restock. I need to clean out the driveway (again) first.

 

Off while back I ran across something on YouTube that caught my attention. A fellow made a limb wood cutting rack from pallets. I liked the idea, particularly because it was mounted to a pallet as a base and easy to move with pallet forks.

I built my version a bit wider, at 18 inches between the vertical pallet boards. I tested it out over the weekend and it actually works quite well. I have quite a bit of small diameter limbs that I need to cut up and will be using this.

This weekend marked my first production in 2 weeks. The weather has not been cooperative, but finally is turning around. I got a head start on my softwood inventory for next spring. I split blue spruce that has been cut and stacked on pallets for about 2 years. It is already dry and ready to burn. I sell this to campers during the summer.
