Some morning splitting

A nice collection of red maple pieces was collected from an area west of the house in recent days.  Here's part of the pile prior to some splitting work today.

And this is how the big pile looks after the splitting.  Each piece will get cut in half in the sawbuck, then it's to a new stacking spot.

Four medium-sized red maples were dropped recently to create this latest firewood.  Some of the larger pieces, split once for now, are still near the original drop zone.  Several oaks will benefit from the extra sun they're getting after the maples were taken down.
