    I've been getting a little of this wood at a time. But it's spring time and they need to start getting the yard ready for some grass... So I took out two more truck loads yesterday and have probably 1 more left. But I had a big chunk that needed to be taken care of. So I took out the 576xp with the 28" bar & the 046 with the 32" for a little play time... Some beautiful wood...

    No, I thought about it. But the 046 got the call. It's been a while since I've ran out her. I wanted her to stretch her feet a bit and blow some cob webs away....

    Thats some big stuff. Thats the kind of wood size that makes me wish I knew how to make furniture. A nice thick slab of that would be a sweet table with that burl in it!

    The pics looked like you had a chainsaw carving in progress, I started to stare to see what it might become.

    That one is the first one in a while that has a real wow to it that I've done. I almost want to build me one.

    Yes, sir it you did a great job on it. :yes: But that's the great thing with 4 - 70cc saws I can rotate the stock around....:D.... Plus that hybrid and 576xp has really found a love in my heart. They will be hard to let go. The 046 on the other hand is a good saw, but I just can't find the groove with it. :headbang:

    Noodling is probably the only way to get through that hunk of wood. How do you like that 576?
