    ...Maple noodles/chips all over my truck! What did you think I meant? :whistle: ;)
    I think this qualifies as a full load, what say you buZZsaw BRAD ?

IMG_20200507_175942992.jpg Got some Box Elder on this load too. IMG_20200507_153150728.jpg Took the new "MS 660" (clone saw) that I just built for the neighbor along to get a little run/tune time on it too.

    It qualifies. One helluva load there! Id be practicing FHC social distancing if i was following you with that load. Were you close to home?
    FORD & STIHL...perfect wood hoarding combination!
    Nice looking saw btw! :thumbs: What bar length? I have a 36" Laser for my 460.
    Ive actually cut wood and got sawdust in the cab as the windows were open!

    Nice! I too have filled my truck through an open widow more than once. Sometimes you just forget. I'd say she's pretty full brenndatomu !

    It means you need to get your splitting maul out so that doesn't continue to happen. :p

    Would have looked like my trucks was parked out in a blizzard! :rofl: :lol:
    Yes, clone kit.
    The isocore got to eat too...I split about 3/4 of the bigger chunks...but some had a little punk going in the middle so I decide to just noodle those. That pic of the Box Elder split open was one that was "mauled"...

    yeah, some of your haul looks to be kinda knotty too. I'd also be noodling those. :thumbs:

    Yep, both the Silver Maple and the Box Elder were kinda gnarly ole trees...I wouldn't have even messed with them except I got paid to make that scrounge pile, the BE was storm damage (the rest of the tree needs to come down too) and the SM was a little storm damage and a little "trimming things up while we're at it"...and now that we are mowing grass here again the pile needed to be cleaned up out of the yard...and my policy is that if I gotta handle it, I'm gonna burn it...I need more low BTU/SS wood anyways.
    Seems like I rarely get much "straight n clear" wood...I thought I had some in a Red Oak that I worked up a month or so ago, but after I started splitting it, there were a bunch of knots where the tree had been trimmed up many years ago!
