Nice!

 

Just wondering why you stack with the bark up? I was told that (if you are going to pay attention to such details) to stack the other way up, so that the moisture can evaporate out the top rather than being "caught: by the bark lid (says it like that in my Granny B axe book)

you will notice it's only the ends of the stacks it easier to build the corner up if the flat surface is down the rest of it is mostly face up bark down but I don't think it makes a lot of difference

lots of air moving around exposed grain to dry the timber, bar up stops the rain soaking into the wood..... i think!!

I guess that they are cut into logs, i don't see the point in cutting billets as you have to handle the wood again to log it.

 

like egg said whats the point of cutting into billets then cutting into logs that pice of wood only wants handling once!!

 

Surely if you log up first, you still have to re-handle to split

Sorry

[rowan lee]

If you don't use the billet system i assume you just ring up into whatever size, and then split afterwards. Thus you handle again as well - no? (just pointing out that the traditional cut/split method is the same as the billet system in terms of how many times the timber is handled).

I love a good looking log pile.

 

Unfortunately mine got a bit out of order, looks messy right now.

 

I see a warm winter for my hunny and I.

nice looking pile how long did it take you to stack that lot? as for bark up i guess it sheds rain better?

HI egg your right there mate in france all cut into billets when we where there last year jon

 

Someone i know lived in france and he said that they sell in metre or half metre lengths and the customer cuts it to the length they want, but generally push the ends of the billets into the fire as they burnin the middle.

 

I billet but dont stack straight away when space gets tight i process into m3 bags i did stack but time is of a premium.
