Evening folks.

Nice working weather today.

Hauled five loads of logs home today.... probably at least that many still to haul, plus more dead trees that need cut.

Most of what I hauled today is just firewood grade stuff, but there were a few good sawlogs there.

In that first pic, do you back up to that pole and drag the logs off with a chain; driving out from under them (the logs)?

Yessir.
Chained em off to that oak stump, put it in 4-L and drove away (with a couple little jerks to get em sliding).....if I only had more stumps in the correct places I'd be good.

Four more loads today.....




It's adding up to a good pile.

Anybody want to estimate firewood volume (after cutting/splitting) on one of those trailer loads...

The deck is 7' wide, I'm usually around 4' high in the middle, and average of 12' long.

I'm guessing 1.5 to 2.0 cords.....the weight feels about like that.

Good morning folks. 27 to 46 expected to day. Looking to be a outside day prepping some more for the seasonal changes.

Good morning all. Have a safe and productive weekend.

By weight, a cord of oak should be 5500 pounds fresh split.

A little less when seasoned..

Made Sauerbrauten last night.

The whole house smells like sweet and sour German beef now.

Lisa’s not impressed...

Most of the logs are dead so a bit lighter than green.

My payloads we're probably around 8k average, so around 1.5 cord I'd s'pose.

Some of Tom's handiwork...

 

[Sawdust Man]

Talked the landowner into letting me cut a nice clean sassafras.... because I ain't never milled one before...
Got five good 8' logs out of it.

 

[Workshop]

Any idea what brand this saw is?
