I have been cutting like a mad man. There a house being built along the highway i live by that has about 48 or more 10 - 24 inch thick by 20 - 33 feet long trees. All limbed and stacked up nicely. Its mostly maple and some others im not sure of. I did find some nice oak and 1, 28 foot by 11 in locust tree.
The first picture is of where i have been stacking it as i bring it home. I only have a small dodge dakota so i cut to trees to 4 foot lengths so i can make multiple quick trips.
The second picture is 26 18 inch rounds that are about to be split (by hand).
I have a very small wood area so I can only split a few at atime before i have to cut more.
And finally picture 3. My wood split and stacked "wood art" as i tell my wife. She says that i need to stop being so obsessed over wood. So i tell her ill stop when she stops whining about being cold in the winter.
Anybody wager a guess at how much i have. Is there a general rule of thumb for how much log lenth wood will give you a cord of split?
