Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Found some time to get splitting what I have gathered or cut down this winter. Had some help from the dogs, they like to eat the scraps or chew on a knot. One of them even found a cat and brought it to me. The other dog found something to cut his rear leg pretty good.

That's the beech I remember, havent seen beech that good in 40 years here. What's the lumber like, did all twist up, cup, twist, split easy when hit, nail hard, is it lighter then oak, in short will beech make a good firewood box to throw wood in that you so desperately need to replace?

The lumber is all still in the drying stacks and the lumber is flat and straight, I would consider it a huge waste to use it for firewood box building...

I have plenty of aspen and pine for that purpose, and I'm far from "desperate" when it comes to firewood boxes. And, if I want more all I have to do is,

After the curiosity is satisfied what you gonna do with all that oak?

It is earmarked for a set of kitchen cabinets I need in my house, other than that, not sure. Maybe sell some , but it seems like every other add in craigslist around here is someone with a mill selling their lumber so who knows.

The weather is changing, with all the sun, it's getting warmer and warmer, so it's time to get the last of the firewood moved,

It's nice to see the snow going away so fast!

That looks like a LOT of work with a chainsaw mill.

That looks like a LOT of work with a chainsaw mill.

the work is in the set up. actually time running the saw though the wood varies with how sharp the chain is, but is only about a minute at most with that wood
