From The Woods To The Landing
Mike has been able to extract most of the hardwood, primarily wild cherry and large leaf maple, out of the woods that had been felled for my firewood project.
All the hardwood that had been stacked and split earlier in the year had been racked up to finish drying and curing, now we are looking at the deck for the wood we will be delivering six months from now.
The corner of the landing that had been set aside for the hardwood is filled to maximum and there is about two log trucks worth of wood there. Much of the wood is too large to cut with my saws. Mike will have to use his large chainsaw to cut the 16 inch pieces.
Even then, the rounds will have to be split down into pieces small enough for me to be able to lift. The splitting will either need to be done with wedges and a sledge hammer, or the big hydraulic splitter will have to put into service.

That is a lovely looking stack of aged ready-to-bundle hardwood. I’m sure it brings a premium in the firewood market. Knowing how hard the big-leaf maple we cut for firewood after felling the “leaning toward the new shed” maple in our yard this spring, I don’t envy you and Mike the challenge of getting it into firewood shape.
