    Guy who's given me loads of wood over the last several years calls me last month saying he's having a couple more trees taken down. He asks the tree service to leave them intact as his wood guy will buck and take them.
    "It's not Brad, is it?" they asked. I chuckled when he told me this. Turns out i have talked with the owner of the tree service.

    Got a text this afternoon saying they were down. He bucked them up and stacked for me. He had some heart issues and said I would have to cut them, but his doctor gave him the okay.

    I forgot to mention its shagbark hickory. :dancer: Ill grab it very soon as the truck had stuff in it and no time when I stopped on the way home. IMG_7551.JPG IMG_7550.JPG

    Yes. I'm getting too spoiled by easy scores.

    The guy had asked what length I liked and told him 16" from the last time. He did very good last time

    Yes he is a perfectionist. I saw chalk marks so he did a layout. I've seen his work at his place and takes pride in his work. Would you believe he bucked this with an electric chainsaw?

    That's the best part. I am far from picky on lengths but every time I have had someone else cut I end up with 10" to 24". Brad gets rounds cut to within 1/8". :thumbs:

    Yeah, but is it his Reputation, or is it the tree service guy knows that Brad is a Stihl guy, and if he doesn’t buck it for him, it might not get cut;)


    Them Stihl guys like to talk poopy about Huskies losing fasteners, Stihl don’t have that problem.

    If it won’t Start/Run, there’s no Vibration, ergo, nothing works loose:rofl: :lol:
