No one can deny that you have wood.
Posted 5 years agoNo, you cannot. Now go away.
Posted 5 years agoI’m finding the ‘piles-within-piles’ effect of the second photo unreasonably pleasing…. time to go home……
Posted 5 years agono because asking to join is instant disqualification
Posted 5 years agoZero points; a > 3.5kg splitting maul is 10 points and a hydraulic splitter driver by an internal combustion engine zero points. Creatively stacked wood in inventive wood store is 10 points, bagged wood in a heap is zero points.
Posted 5 years ago-5 pts for using ear defenders
Posted 5 years agoNot connected to a tractor so…… meh!
Posted 5 years agoThe wood burner is the only heating in my house. If you’re a professional then having professional tools is not worth bragging about on an STW thread. Bragging rights go to amateurs (hobbyists) that have a three-axis CNC machine not Dowty group. (add smiley to taste).

Minor correction….
Posted 5 years agoIs that one of those sex machines my “friend” said he saw on internet?
Posted 5 years agoIt does look rather Dolcett.

Very pretty but examples of how not to season wood. Stacking to promote air circulation and a roof are essential.
Posted 5 years agoAre they hollow? Does the broch have a spiral stair?

I’m curious how the core would dry too. My suspicion is that that they would sit for a few years so the drying rate may just be slower. It must be a centuries old stacking style.
I stacked peat in a similar way, with no tarp or weather proofing in Orkney which has a notoriously poor climate. Peat once initially dried changes it’s structure and can withstand a certain amount of exposure to rain without reducing it’s burnability.
The wood I stacked last year in an open shed with a tin roof has shrunk from being tight against the roof to about six inches or so below it. The wood I transferred from a shed which had limited airflow and that had started to grow a fungus ( mostly on Beech logs ) immediately stopped once stored with more airflow.

It’s almost worth a bike trip out there to find out ❓
Posted 5 years agoI’m still trying to replenish what we burned last year. I’d would be interesting to see if I can fill the hole on the shed with this lot. I somehow doubt it.

Congrats, you have about as much sawdust as I have logs left. It’s been a hard winter.
