Since we lost the woods on my sister and BIL's farm I quit dropping trees except for the occasional fenceline . I started buying big block tie ends from the railroad tie factory (it's huge) in Rockland. $30 bucks a ton, mostly oak. I still split the big stuff, but it stacks great, has no bark on it, and the price is right when you figure how much time it takes me to get a cord of wood out of the fields and into the house!
