Another thread plus many other posts in other threads made me go outside and take a couple pictures today. Here are some pictures of older wood stacks and the cross stacking on the end just to show that they need not be weak and fall over. No, I do not take extra special pains when stacking like this nor am I attempting to brag in any way. I hope I am to humble to reduce myself to that. I show this only to show what can be done and you can do it without your wood piles looking awful. In fact, I think it can make a wood pile look very neat so that it is not an eyesore.
Many have seen pictures of these stacks; this is just from some different viewpoints.
Here is a side view:
To be a bit different, this was a 7 (or somewhere near 7 years in the stack) year old stack.
Finally, to show what we use to put under the wood. This is cheap and it works very well. These are just poles and saplings that we cut in the woods. As you can see, there are some cherry we used here.
