| This is the wood-pile a few days ago. |
 |
| This is what it looks like today. |
 |
| The wedge you see on top of the log was hammered in to keep it from rolling off the length of firewood I am holding it up with. I used another wedge on the other side. |

| The brace at the 17' mark |

| A short while later. I moved the X brace up another 8' to the 25' mark. The trunk was cut into 15" lengths. |
A satisfying day! God smiled on you today! Thanks for sharing the sunshine with all of us.
ReplyDeleteI only use the wood in a backyard fire pit but putting up wood in the fall is a satisfying ritual. In the worst case, I figure a neighbor could use it.
ReplyDeleteERJ, did yoy try the plunge cut?
ReplyDeleteYes I did.
DeleteIt worked like a charm.
Thanks.
I still love using the wood stove. Yes it’s extra work, but the heat is so … comforting somehow. I grew up with it. We have a mini split heat pump, and an oil furnace, but I love the wood stove. We use it all winter to supplement the other sources.

Good deal on the plunge cut. Learned the technique fighting wildland fire in my wasted youth, and still use it to this day as I process about five cords a year here in Alaska. You are master class now, few people outside of professionals know how to do it.
