Om April 13, I got this load of locust. (And a bit of maple.)
Today I finished splitting it. All with the fiskars.
2.6 face cord of locust for me (and at 18" that's almost a cord). And one facecord of maple for me.
And 17 wheelbarrows full of small stuff (generally less than a foot long and 2*3" or so) for the neighbors (they are old and can't split and get crappy wood from someone - they pile it on pallets in a tent, at least the small.splits will make this drier than what they get normally).
The neighbors across the road had a large red oak taken down. I got the trunk. About 20" dia.
A pick up full to a friend (he splits it), a round or 6 for me,.and the rest is going to be made small for the neighbors again.
I couldn't store more as.my shed is full. But I couldn't let a nice quality oak trunk across the street go either... So I'll put it on a rack on the downwind side of my shed under the overhang. And it'll get.moved into the shed after.next season.
