Thanks Jeff. Im slowing down though. I unintentionally cut half loads there due to saw issues and it was easier on me to process after. Being a mile or so from storage was a big help. Black birch and beech are heavy wehn fresh cut! Any down your way?
Not any BB, but we have a good bit of beech, especially on our place. We have one we need to cut, blown down in Helene, enough roots are still in the ground, it's been putting our green leaves every year. I cleaned out around it last June, it is still green...
Split the last few beech rounds off the truck yesterday. Then split some red oak I cut with buzzsaw earlier this month that was in the way of an empty rack. I decided to stack the oak there as it gets good sunlight. Ill sell it 27-28 season since it was dead when cut. Some has loose bark. Still a face cord of oak to process. I then hit the TOH score I procured a couple weeks back. Couple miles from storage. He had limbed it and started bucking the smalls (mostly to the wrong length, but were longer so I edited them). It was a yard tree that forked into four about 15' up. Got it all bucked and mostly loaded. A few big trunk rounds left to grab. Had I not spent time torching the SLF I would've finished. Ill bet I killed over 200 of the dang things. Made my way back to the woodyard and split half the load. Maybe 1/3 will go toward bundle inventory. I may finish the rest today but showers hampering my efforts. Probably hit the bundle shed and stack since I tossed the last load inside.
