Wood: Cleaning up the mess I made

There is not a lot to report today.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday in the woods. Most of the time was spent cutting "usable" sized chunks of firewood out of the Black Locust I dropped earlier this year. Due to how they leaned, most of the canopies fell into the pasture. Then I carried the chunks and tossed them into pile for later transport.

I will bend over to pick up and carry a stick that weighs 5 pounds. I am reluctant to pick up and carry a log weighing seventy pounds over rough ground. 96" poles between 3" and 5" diameter make good fence posts. Hence the color coding of the table.

Approximate weights of "logs" @ 60lb/cubic-foot.

I want to get the brush dragged back into the "woods" and re-erect the fence. Pastures that are not used revert back to brush.

I also dropped four more Black Locust trees but these were on the back-corner of the property.

Rain is expected all day today and high winds are expected tomorrow so I will not be back out into the woods until Tuesday. 

The load I brought in on Christmas day. The largest chunk is 8" diameter and most are in the 6-1/2" class.

I also brought in four poles that are suitable for fence posts. I did not cut those into 4' long bolts but leaned them up against a tree to dry and to keep them out of the way.
