I took these last week....before I stacked a bit more today. This is all the wood on our upper lot in VT. We're not on a ton of land; about an acre, but it helps to have another area to stack wood. I keep the "to be burned this season" stuff down in the lower part of the yard. Right now, that's about 3 cords.
All this stuff is backyard wood. The smaller stuff we cut down last year clearing the upper part of the property. It makes great firepit wood and kindling. A lot of the trees were 4-5" in diameter or under. There's a good amount of pine in there. My neighbor had some friends down to cut down some pine and offered me the wood. Free wood that's litterally next door...no way I was passing that up. The larger rounds I think are Beach? It was standing dead. I think some may be punky, but again, it was right next door. There was also good sized yellow birch that she gave us.
And a few random shots of the clearning we're doing. I'm cutting down some of the smaller pines and other smaller trees. I'm slowly getting to some of the pines as my confidence goes up. We're not clear cutting; just opening things up a bit. The property hadn't been taken care of for a number of years before we bought it.
