    Almost 2 hours one way. That's out of my typical range, even for a holy grail species.

    The section i cut was probably 40 inches in diameter luckily it broke into two stems making it alot easier to maneuver
    I just filed my chain n it felt dull after the first couple cuts

    Yep, Osage makes a real sharp chain feel a bit dull. I'd run .404 chain in that sucker if you've got the setup. 90+ cc & .404 will speed ya up a lot.

    Hey thats quite the score. Nice grab!
    I like BL for splring and fall when it would burn long and low, it coals pretty quickly. In deep winter, we need more than a bed of coals though, we need a good fire long and hot.
    Brad and I hit a BL score this spring, so I wont be able to burn it for another year at least.

    The concensus is the wood is osage orange Dave, which is the highest btu wood in the US. It looks very similar to BL and had me second guessing. If you find a score like that give me a call. I wouldnt want you overheating your house. :whistle:
