Just to show I really do cut and split my own firewood, here are a couple pictures. The first one is maple in the pasture, plus some madrone that has been down long enough to bleach out. The second one is wood that fell off of trees in my yard during snowmageddon last December. There is oak, mimosa, maple, chain of gold, and plum. A lot of it is rounds that didn't need splitting. I stack it that way to let it air dry efficiently in the summer, then move it into the woodshed in the fall. For scale, I have a big firebox, so aim for 18" to 20" bolts.
