Abstract: An apparatus for bundling short lengths of cylindrical items, such as firewood, the apparatus being formed of a frame for resting on the earth, with a semi-circular bottom rack rotatably supported by the frame about its horizontal axis and normally retained in an upper open position, a semi-circular top rack of the same internal dimensions removably attachable to the bottom rack to form, when the two parts are attached, a circular area in which firewood may be stacked and retained so that a band may be secured around the stacked wood, after which the semi-circular top rack may be removed, and means for rotating the bottom rack about its horizontal axis so that the banded cylindrical bundle of firewood can be removed from the rack.
