6x6
G'moring Walter!
Welcome to the Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime. where ... Excellence is its own reward!
I use mostly 6x6.
They are light enough to handle but stack up fairly fast.
I have some larger ones 8x8 and 8x10 also that are good for bottom in the mud.
Historic preservation is always interesting. Please come back with progress reports and pictures.

Thank you for the input. We will be back and post updates.
I use 6x7. you can stack it 7 inches tall, and then side a piece in the middle of the stack on the 6 inch tall side throughout the pile. This makes it handy for moving jacks, temp. posts, etc. I use hemlock, pine breaks. Oak when I'm lifting something really heavy.
