Did some splitting today!

[rdust]

I had a vacation day to use up before the end of the year so I used it to get some splitting done. It was an awesome day to be outside and the sun was shining!


Anyway here are some pictures.

Here are two snow covered heaps I split a while back, one on the right is black locust, cherry is on the left. Only about a 1/3 cord between the two.

Here are two more heaps, one on the right is white ash, left is evil red oak.

Backside of same two heaps above.

Here is another heap of red oak, all this oak was on the ground when it was cut without bark for the most part. Some of it's a little soft but most looks pretty good.

With the exception of a few stragglers I'm caught up with my splitting so it's time to do some cutting.

rdust, looks like you had a great day for the splitting, nice job. What type of wood are you cutting next?

Nice job! I have some maple to finish up, but it was definitely too cold and windy to undertake this task today. Maybe tomorrow.

Not sure, I don't have a wood lot so I just cut what people have available. We're on 3 acres with a bunch smaller white ash with 4 or 5 full sized ones that are dead/dying that need to come down so maybe I'll cut some of those. I also have near a dozen standing dead pines that need to come down. I've been holding off on dealing with those since they store better in the upright position. I have two poplars that are close to the neighbors house that need to come down but I'm going to bring someone in to drop those.

Are the big white balls in the woods buoys ?
I had some about half that size that I was going to paint and use as driveway markers at the end of the driveway or something and never got around to it. ( like the Target balls )
Amazingly heavy, surprised they float.

If you're seeing what I think you're seeing I think it's a propane tank.

rdust, it surely was a great day to be outside working. Glad you got that split.

You would be correct.

Looks great! Weather here was real nice and I got some good splitting in too.
