Split red oak.

https://pic8.co/sh/37y6qH.jpg

I cut all this red oak in 2 days, plus 3 other ricks not pictured.

My arms are dead now.

I've sold about 800 rick's since October.

Damn, that’s a solid operation. What does each go for?

If it's going to Texas or Cali and it's pecan $1000 a rick to restaurants.

Local any wood $75 each Rick.

I sell it out of 2 stores at the foot of the Ozarks.

Bundles of pine kindling 25 pieces $10 each, the campers and hippies love that stuff cause I use twine rope and no plastic.

I'm impressed! That's honest hard work.

In my area we go by cords of wood, so I had to look up ricks.

The term spread to North America and is currently used in the Midwest of the United States.

It’s probably a good idea to know what a cord of wood is to understand how big a rick of wood is. One cord of wood is a stack of wood that measures 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long.

A rick is essentially a fractional portion of a whole cord and offers the same amount. Based on the rick widths and the fact that a full cord of wood is 48 in. width, the table below divides firewood rick width by their respective size concerning a full cord.

A 12 in. wide rick equals 1/4 of a cord of wood A 16 in. wide rick equals 1/3 of a cord of wood A 24 in. wide rick equals 1/2 of a cord of wood The numbers offer possible dimensions of a rick:

A 12 in. rick is 4 ft. high by 1 ft. wide by 8 ft long – known as a stove cord A 16 in. rick is 4 ft. high by 1.33 ft. wide by 8 ft. long A 24 in. rick will be 4 ft high by 2 ft. wide by 8 ft. long

Damn. Gg. Did you chainsaw before splitting? Splitter or axe? Either way impressive. I was proud of my Bushcraft shelter last week but that was a combo of hand saw and deadwood

37 ton splitter, and just a few times a chainsaw, and a axe.

Right on girl

I didn't actually do the chainsaw, or axe part.

Rolling and carrying the logs isn't easy by any means.
