    Absolutely perfect day here in south central Pennsylvania! Got the chance to fire up a saw for a bit. Dad’s friend has some trees he’d like taken down so I obliged.
    This black oak was the first.

    Saw that metal tattoo after beating out the notch. Just held my breath bucking and never hit any metal that I felt.

    Land owner disliked the location of this small shagbark so I removed it next.

    The next one was bigger.



    Couple inches bigger than the reach on my 20” bar. Had no idea what I was getting into.

    Used the Isocore to reduce lifting weight.

    Need to get back to get the rest. Ran out of room in the truck.

    Also cut two stumps for the landowner. 28” bar isn’t going to finish this one off, so another day.

    That wood required another pallet.
