Splitting Logs...Saving September.

The best invention ever...Hydraulic Log Splitter.  I'm too old to split logs with an ax.  I leave that up to the Husband.  But this was sort of fun to do together.
We had another old tree fall this summer after a big micro burst windstorm so there is plenty of stacked logs at the back of our pasture.
We won't be able to use our woodpile up in a life time but now we have a large supply of split wood to throw on the fire.

The amazing thing is that pile is two rows deep.  You can only see the outer row of wood.  That's what comes of having trees that are 150 years old on the property. Lots of firewood.

Saving September, splitting logs...it's a "good thing", as Martha would say.

  1. My dad is giving us his log splitter. I'm looking forward to it as we go harvest some firewood this fall. What a terrific pile you've got there!

  4. Looks as though you are set for as many fires as you want - if not you could always set up as a log seller! Looks as though the tree was sick anyway by the hollow bit in the middle :( At least it didn't do any damage when it came down and you can make use of the wood.
