Firewood thread!!! Let's see what you got!!!!

[<DoB>]

This is my stack I've been working on the last month and a half... I know I'm not done and will still need more to get me through next winter.

I do the same thing with the odd sized pieces. Lol

Once it seasons some, I'll probably put some of the 4-6" cookies through the splitter to make some camping firewood. Well split down to 2-3", and stuffed in a feed bag makes nice travel wood for camping.

Another 2 loads yesterday (up to 4 loads total now). Stacked out to +/- 3 cords, and I'm maybe 1/2 done!

Mrs. Geek took some pictures of me today, beating my brains out on the twisty tree-row ash. I only trashed 2 84 DL and 1 68 DL chains on nails so far...

I should take some pics. I don't have anything fancy - a Fiskars, a 4# Jersey pattern, A cheap Chinesium 4# ax head splitter from home depot, and an 8# Truper. I do have a nice old 6# axe eye head that's quite old, which badly needs a handle. I'll try to sneak some pics tonight.

I just got a call yesterday from Treesmiths, and they had to do some power line clearance at one of my rental houses. They took 7 or 8 ash trees down to the ground, and left me the logs (4" and bigger) for firewood. Sounds like I can run some loads this weekend!

(Sounds like work, but sounds like fun too!)

I see trucks makes Treesmith here in southern PA sometimes.

I picked up a Fiskars ss axe a couple weeks ago and split the two truck loads I got from Dillsburg. Hickory,Locust,cherry,Ash,and maple. Starting on another pile of maple. Never thought I could get into splitting by hand but now I can't stop.

I'd grow roots waitin' to finish my bucking cut! LOL

I had some fun with three red heads and a brunette today!
I'm sold on power.


Have some videos that I need to recode/compress and upload to YouTube.
More pictures are on my camera, thus need to crank up my desktop PC to up any more.

It was a good day, I wish they all were like today.

Don't get me wrong. The 5100 had backup, but did all of the cutting 12" and smaller:


Total count: 6 loads in the 1 ton Chevy, plus 2 loads in a 6' bed smaller Chevy. I need to measure the stack, but I'm north of 3 cords cut and stacked.

Nice job with the lean-to and the wood.

It is addictive. Lol
I bought some Gransfors Bruk splitting tools to see what they were all about. To go along with my Fiskars X27.
They are in a league above. Keeps me rejuvenated. Lol
I will post a pick of my pile when I can. [emoji106]

I've been helping my FIL with the firewood work for about 15 years. At the time we cut just enough to get by. 3 years ago he ended up with severe tendonitis and talked about getting a pellet stove. I told him as long as my wife and I lived with him he would never have to worry about firewood again. At that time I joined AS and got serious about firewood. Now I have next year's wood and and 20/21 wood on the racks and working on being 3 years ahead. I ended up with a bunch of new saws along the wayand the Fiskars fit in well with the low price high quality theme I have going. Now there's old Poulans and a pair of Stihls in the shed also but the Echos are my go to saws. Sorry for the long winded response.

 

[RI Chevy]

Were gonna put you on Team Echo. LOL
Good deal. I cut for my FIL as well. In fact, he gave me his Hooskie 345. I give him more than I cut for myself. LOL

My pile at the moment. Lol

Congrats to you for getting on the 3 year plan. Way to go.

And before anyone thinks otherwise, I'm sure you had the hood up on that reliable old Ford to jump someone's check, right?

 

[Battle Cross 2]

I pop the hood on any truck that's hauled a heavy load get the heat out faster. There' a dodge here to it would have had the hood up to if I took that today. Chevy trucks need not apply.

I have this for firewood. Some disassembly required.

Don't even need to go outside to get some firewood!

Indoor firewood processing and the wife can't complain about chainsaws all over the living room.

Looks like a quite large trunk/tree.
