Cord stack and Log pile pictures

[farmer_ben]

I think billets are good as they dry fast but you need a saw bench with conveyor to make it really work.

 

or just throw / place, straight into pick up which is right next to saw bench?

True saw bench it is then

Are they spraying them to keep the weight up for selling by the tonne?

[skyhuck]

Does anyone know why they are watering it??

 

Is it to prevent splitting??

 

A neighbour of mine who works in France for most of the year told me about some stacked timber that was being spayed with water and wanted to know why.

I'll hazard a guess. Is it to keep it from drying and thus making it easier to pulp, assuming that's the fait that awaits that glorious pile.

come on jon ,take pics

I dont think thats going to happen:001_rolleyes: Sorry to hear about your 50+ tonne being stolen Jon did they steal it on artics? because that sure is alot to go missing. I have a friend lives in Frome and he's got a log burner can i give him your contact details/website address as he'll be after good seasoned logs

certain softwoods stain in the sapwood as they dry out, to prevent this they are kept saturated, IIRC FC did this at a huge store in Thetford after the gale in 1987

 

 

 

 

EDIT: here you go a bit of info on the thetford one, I can remember driving past in when i was young Forestry Commission - News - great storm remembered

Those massive stacks are in Sweden after the big windblow a few years ago, watering the wood helps to limit the scots pine logs getting blue stain and helps keep the wood fresher.

I heard there was about 1 million cube stacked up on that airstrip
