Fire killed pine is also great for making pine tar.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

What a cute lizzahd, yes sir ! About eight years back, the adjoining Forest Service lightly logged the land adjacent to my place. A neighbor down the road 1/2 mile objected vehemently . A hunter, who should know better, how opening up a tight forest makes for great elk and deer habitat, he actually confronted the guy with the big tree cutter machine , and his crew . Being Natl. Forest land, it was their call to log the area. I approached them later and they told me how concerned they were in parking their heavy equipment and trucks at night for the several days they planned to be there. I told them, when they're done for each day just drive those big yellow Tonka Toys onto my property and park them in the open meadow in back of my cabin. Very relieved, they did so. What a feeling through the ground, as each evening they rumbled into that meadow and lined up their rigs, side by side, in a row. They logged the area with skill and care, leaving me a good barrier treeline along the road for privacy maintained. The cutter they had snipped trees right at ground level, and another stripped the boughs from each trunk in seconds. They took care of the leftovers so everything was clean. They selectively logged, there was plenty of trees left to grow bigger and attract deer and elk. The last day , when they left, I was gone. When I returned, why there was a pile of beautiful logs of Tamarack, cedar, red and white fir, and some hemlock , all for firewood. About 13 cords worth. Here is a shot of it as I stacked it into my woodshed. The prettiest lot of wood I think I ever had. I later had the shed fixed up to look better , as this was years ago, and pretty rustic . Jack, love your outbuildings. You can nevah have enough wood.

When you are making the big bucks from book sales it leaves a lot of leisure time to stack wood in creative ways. Absolutely Ken. In the past month, I've actually cleared $13.44. Now only about $3986.56 in the hole. I'm in the tall cotton now, baby! Goin' out to stack more wood.

Keeping with the firewood theme; An oak that was leaning towards the location of a new shed. Got about three cords out of this one tree. Maple log bucked, dragged to a clearing and blocked. Maple logs bucked, dragged to a clearing and blocked for camp firewood. Goofing with a buddy. A winter's supply for camp.
Eh...wot?

QBD, Sharon, and Lugnut -
I agree with JMorse, in that images of stacked firewood all put up for the winter provides me with a warm, fuzzy feeling. In many ways its akin to looking at put up fur hanging in the shed ready for the buyer to come and inspect, shell out those big dollars ($50 for twelve coyotes, 16 foxes and 432 coons), and watch him take them away. I drool over those photos of Lug with the winter's supply of hardwood. A thing of absolute beauty!
Jack
