Well.. it's about that time.

Had some drama going on last Fall and didnt get all the wood cut that I should have.
I decided to buy a couple loads this year to get me back on track and then go out and cut and haul the rest as usual.

I called a friend and he shows up with this.

Holy Moly!

Did not expect that. Well I might be done earlier then I thought.

You do have a HAND saw don't you?

Looks like some nice maple. Too bad it's still green. Should be gtg by mid winter though.

I have a pretty good pile started myself.

Yes...yes I do, Jerry. A Stihl MS 261 C-M and it requires BOTH hands

This all for next year Mike. I process a year ahead each Fall.
The stuff for this year is all cut, split, stacked and dried. Did that last Fall.

That's the way to do it. Unfortunately, I am always behind and end up with some green wood every year. Some woods can season pretty well in six months but I always end up with some red oak. That stuff takes foreverrr to season.

Did you provide a hive for the nasty flying insects this year?

FinsnFur · September 21, 2025, 08:21:01 PM

No Jerry. The AirBnB has been decimated

DONE!!

I have to stop and ask myself what has become of my life when I get excited over getting my wood pile finished for the year?

I'm even more excited to be done before Thanksgiving. She was close!

I wish you could hear and feel the burning wood crackling in the dining room while I type this.

Man I love it.

Lookin' excellent! Love it. Lotta work, but great reward from your work.

nastygunz · November 26, 2025, 11:25:34 PM

That's the neatest wood pile I've ever seen.

Hawks Feather · November 27, 2025, 03:22:40 PM

When I look at that stacking, I believe that Jim was a mechanical engineer in a former life.

That sure would be cozy. My woodburner is outside so I don't get the atmosphere with it.
