Since all the birch collected last fall is spilt and stacked, needed to get out and cut some more. Suitable trees are hard to find, they need to be dead and down, but not so old the wood is rotted or "punky." There's a bunch of trees that were pushed over when one of the neighbors did some road widening a few years ago. He told some of his friends to take the wood, but it was hit and miss what was removed. So last fall I started cleaning up the remaining trees and just finished cutting up and hauling out the logs.
The last load of logs hauled back from along the road. They're cut into six foot lengths to fit in the bucket and just filled it up.
After splitting, they're stacked up to dry for burning in the winter (thanks Andy). There's about two cords split so far; we're about half way there for the winter supply. Like money in the bank, there's never too much firewood!
