    Been putting off setting up trail cams anyway so no trip to the farm without bringing back a load of wood. Mostly locust with a little bit of white oak, trees I felled in March image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Hey buddy, I have more to cut so you just turn her up 77, and I'll cook the steaks on the grill? I've never cut locust, I had the 018 razor edged and cut that without issue though she was starting to dull---burns about as hot as hickory right?

    OK guys, look at the first pic with the Polar trailer and notice that hole in the round on the right-then look at this---I swear I thought it was metal but my saw did not dull-it kind of loose fitting in the round and I think I may be able to pull it out with pliers---will try when I unload the truck-I've never seen anything like this image.jpg image.jpg
