If you look in the top left hand corner. you can see the half circle of wood is up against something else which I believe is probably a large wooden board all the pieces of lumber are attached to. So while it's a great optical illusion, it's also really a great piece of woodworking.

Perhaps they are the spoils from a local lumberjack chainsaw cutting competition.

Selling firewood by the cord

My grandfather told a tale of a guy who sold firewood and knew how to stack it.
He wanted $20 a cord and the buyer only wanted to pay $16 a cord.
So the guy agreed
On the truck, it stacked as 4 cords.

On the ground it stacked as 5 cords.

He was known for loose stacking.

A friend said that his dog chased a squirrel into one of his loose woodpiles
Someone asked: what did the dog do then?

‘Followed the squirrel’ was the reply.

a good job of loading wood for transport. Later, when it's stacked, plenty of room between logs for air circulation is essential so it doesn't rot.
