Stacking split wood

[s.varty]

Ive been splitting 3ft long beech limbs today and was wondering what the most effective way of stacking it is, one guy had a pic of his stack and it was perfectly staight . I would prefer to leave it in an untidy mess where i have split it. Which is best?

if you can stack it on a few bearers, use a few of your 3' lengthways on the bottom then just place each billet on that, its easier than throughing in a pile surely - and then if you keep going along or a new stack next to it leave a gap and the air will circulate around all of it ensuring they all dry out even - thats what we do, when got time to do billets
