You know I gotta love my Lang to get out and work like this lol. Working on splitting and stacking a cord of mixed apple and pear I had dropped off last week. Splitting about 2/3 larger and 1/3 smaller for start up. It’s pretty green but I’ve used some of the small pieces when I had a good hot coal bed. I also picked up 3/4 of a rick of well seasoned cherry there still on the truck. It will go under the new overhang I had added to our storage shed. I should have a cord of oak dropped off tonight. It should require a whole lot less splitting than the apple / pear.

Nice load you got there. I’ve never seen wood stacked like that before does it help it season faster that way?
I was told that it makes the ends stronger. I was just going to stack the ends that way. My wife volunteered to stack and she did it all that way. I asked about it and got this look lol. I wasn’t going to push my luck and lose my help lol.

Log splitter? What no maul? Haha, JK.
It is nice to have a stack of wood. I have a huge oak down out back, I have been chopping away at it but I need to get moving.

That's a go to hell look for sure lol. We only do it at the ends but don't tell her I said that!

Lol right? I knew I was close to losing the help haha. Right before that she was smiling away. I convinced her it was equal to aerobics and she would get sun haha
 
Yep, never piss off the volunteer help! You don't want to become like Jose jalapeno... on a stick!

Yeah I wouldn’t have argued with that look either. I’ve cut and stacked a lot of wood in my day and have never seen anything like that. forktender forktender I’ve never had a stack fall over either.

This load wasn’t that long but from a circumference standpoint the guy was lazy as heck. Most pieces I split 2 to 3 times. The seasoned cherry I got is much closer to the size I like. I’ll split some of it down to coke can size. PS, not going to tell the wife you said you’ve stacked a lot and never done it that way because she said the exact same thing to me lol. If she keeps helping I’ll dang sure get her leather gloves. Actually pretty sure we have a few nice ones from Rural King in the garage. I’m just waiting to see what her ask is for the help haha.

Mine gets stacked like Jeff's but only on the ends. Keeps the ends from rolling down if it's not stacked against anything like a post or whatever
