Snag wood

Will get some decent fires out of this snag. Looks good except for the top few feet.
The 680 is up to the task with the chain I’m still learning how to put a square grind on.

Im not familiar with the term snag? Looks to be some decent wood from it though.

 

Basically snag is a dead tree but mostly use it here for one with the top gone.

Thanks. Good job snagging that snag!

 

Good to know. Here when I hear snag, normally it's when a tree you are falling or brakes off and gets stuck or snagged on a standing tree.

 

I've always understood a snag is a blown over tree that got hung up on another tree. And, I've always heard of a tree with a top that was snapped off, as a spar.

Regardless, it's on the ground and on its way to bring firewood. Good job!

 

Ive learned the term "spar" on here myself. I guess that tree was on spar for good firewood!

 

One of my last loads of maple came mostly from a snag. There is another one out there but its a larger diameter so it'll take a bit longer to hauol that one in!

 

I believe a "spar' is a sailing term, referring to a mast, of sorts.

 

Sounds like "The Invasion of the Popple People!"

 

Where I live "snag" means standing dead tree in the forest. A dead tree in someones yard or the park, would just be called a dead tree. Local terminology is a funny thing.
