A beauty day to block some hardwood. Cutting the stuff too big for the processor.

OK Guys, here is what I started the Winter with.


 
And here is what I am down to now.  Two more fires and I will have to wheelbarrow a few more sticks up from the woodshed.  The forecast is for 29° Saturday, 25° Sunday, and 34° next Monday.  Yup, I had better grease da wheel and git ta rollin'.  ::)


 
It snowed out by da mailbox.  :)

It might be over, I certainly hope so .I got a nice load of wind blown hickory yesterday ,nicely dry from 4" to about 6 " which of course doesn't need split .Plus I might have finally figured out that danged high  tech propane furnace that's given me fits .Come on spring time .I much prefer sitting on my duff in my lawn chair  enjoying a cold one than freezing my behind off with a chainsaw .

Cut some dead cherry next to the driveway. I like the short trip to the wood shed 😀
Going to try my first picture on the forum.

I've done the same thing. Quite a feeling of accomplishment when the first one goes up, at least it was for me. Nice job.

I have quite a bit of wood on the ground all cut up to length. I'm just waiting for a field to dry up enough to get the tractor to the wood.

You've got those woods about as clean as your woodshed floor. :o Keep up the good work.

Goofy typical Ohio weather this time of year .Mid 20's at night high 50's day time .The firewood box is loaded up but the fire is out .Finally when the heating season is almost over I got that high tech pain in the back sides furnace running after I figured out how it works .It's top secret, they don't tell you much .--that's a story for another time .

First slabs of the year, cut up and stacked in the barn. Mostly red maple, little ash, little aspen.

I don't know it you really call it firewood, but it is keeping me warm.  :D
I am cleaning up this area.



 

Lots and lots of branches to pick up.
I cut a eastern white pine that the top broke off. That produced some branches.
I have a OWB that will take a 54 inch stick. Some "firewood" is only an inch through. Not asking that stuff to get me through the night, just a few hours. Might take 4-6 fillings, and time but it does make heat.

That area of woods looks really nice.

Saturday, I cut and split firewood as I went and tossing brush off the trail, most of the tops landed out of the trail.  But some dry dead stuff would land on it. I like clean trails, and my limbs feed the soil. ;D Wood was forwarded to the road, then later loaded onto the pick up. I figure I got 6/10th hauled in and stacked. Takes 3 pickup loads to make a cord in the Tacoma. Enough to finish a rank in the house, so the wood room is full. And enough for a smaller rank out under the porch, which could take another wheel barrel load. Probably need to cut 6 pick up loads to replace what gets burned by June 10th. Then cut 2023 wood this fall. Been only a couple days that were 60's here, and that was in March. Been colder ever since, barely enough 50 degree days to count on one hand. 47F today, and all day to get there. Keeps the flies at bay. :D Great cut'n weather, can't be beat, as long as it ain't snowing and raining. ;D

Drive through pick up comes in all shapes and sizes.

Ever wonder what 768 cubic feet (6 cords) of 14 inch long split hardwood looks like? Here you go. Normally 4 crates make one cord when stacking 16 inch long firewood pieces. For 14 inch firewood we stack each cord using 5 crates to allow for good, end grain air flow drying.

Jim did the guy with the stock trailer take a load of cows to the pasture or to town? Looks like he made good use of the trip and back hauled firewood home. That's planning ahead.

You would think that but no. He didn't want to pay the delivery fee of $55 for 2 cord of a 4 cord purchase so he made four 70km round trips. He likely paid more in fuel not to mention his time. To each their own I guess.
