You have worked up a nice pile of split wood. The next part, stacken, is the only part I don't care for. Seems like Tracracer has the right idea for that.
He uses 10 cord per year. Local (major) supplier usually don’t get his delivered till the fall…and it’s wet. There is such a high demand up here and too little work ethic.20 cords... thats a 10 year supply for me!

He is going to burn what you just cut yet this year? No way I could get away with that. Or even try.He uses 10 cord per year. Local (major) supplier usually don’t get his delivered till the fall…and it’s wet. There is such a high demand up here and too little work ethic.
He wanted 10 cord for this year and another 10 cord for next year to get it really dry.
Just finished with someone else’s who wanted 3 cord.
I pull it off their property and then I don’t have to worry about storing and delivery.
I stack for them too so the retired people (who have the land and money) love it. Stacking goes fast because I use my kids
I’m not a fan of stacking either but I have a couple of kids that can hand them to me so I don’t have to bend down much. Goes quickly.
I probably asked you the same question in 2012. I like long bodied wood like that. Mine tends to be short and carrot shaped. I cut a white a couple of weeks ago which was around 20" on the butt and 14" at 12 feet.That first log was knot free, then I got into the green branches. I topped it off at 44 feet and it was around 7 or 8 inches.
He is burning the beetle kill spruce. Mostly dry already.
Ok, got it. I saw the green leaves and wondered. Now I see what looks like a dead spruce.
Did you already provide a thorough report on the mill you have on order? Which brand, max cut width, max board width, reason you chose this one over all the others? I finally got myself over the hump of spending the money and then Woodmizer's site said it was a 42 week wait. Some of the other name brands are booking into 2023. Yikes. Good times for sawmill companies. Curious what you decided on. Thanks.I probably asked you the same question in 2012. I like long bodied wood like that. Mine tends to be short and carrot shaped.

They will make good logs to learn on when I get my mill next month.
On March 23 while it was on sale I ordered the bottom of the line Woodmizer, the LX25.https://woodmizer.com/Store/Shop/Portable-Sawmills/LX25-Portable-Sawmill It's scheduled to be built on August 12... hopefully I will have it for Labor Day. I chose it for price; also because it's a Woodmizer, and because it was very easy to build.
