We had a storm tear off a lot of branches from the old maples in our yard. I took the larger stuff and sliced it up for our fire pit. There's something satisfying about a nice stack of wood.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

All good, I like your style with the pallet.
I was going to suggest this:
It takes minimal effort, cheap materials, and is quite strong. I've had my woodpile on one I put together for a few years. Once I had put the angled 2x4s into the cinder blocks, I also filled the remaining space inside the block with pea gravel to keep them from wiggling around.
Here's the full DIY instructions.
Edit: If needed, I'm pretty sure they'll cut the 2x4s to your requested length, at least at Lowe's.
That's fantastic, thank you. I need less projects in my life at the moment, but that's a great idea for future log pile organization.
What I do is, I leave some lengts of the trunks in one piece, usually right before it turns too thin anyway and just put two of those beneath my firewood piles. Works just as well, especially if you're stacking somewhere in the forest where you'd have to cart pallets there from miles away.
