This crib is filled with all the wood that was split this spring that was all around the cribs. It was a score of already down trees at another farm that was all ash,elm and walnut

I do not know as I have not measured across them to figure the sq. ft.

If I was to stop cutting today I figure there is at least 6 years of wood in there. There is now two of us burning out of them now. Last year we were not able to empty the center crib completely and it was not completely full when we started out of it last season.
