    This was blocking the morning sun for the house so we felled the pine with some going for shoulder season wood and the bigger stuff will get milled into boards.

    Nice looking tree there, sounds like it will serve you well.

    We're looking for some two inch thick boards so I'm not sure how many we'll get but we'll get some.

    I have the ripping chains soaking in WD 40 Specialist degreaser because some idiot :hair: hung them up dirty. The good thing is there is nothing for rust so that was good.

    You can plant another one in its place and someone else can do the same in 60 years.

    Split and stacked a mess of white pine myself this afternoon. Shoulder season, here we come!

    Love cutting pine, the saw goes through so fast I feel like a rockstar. :smoke:

    I ran the 028 Wood Boss bucking it up, the chips in pic 9159 make me feel like I can actually sharpen a chain on the grinder. :D 101_9159.JPG

    The chips from the pic were made by a bigger saw when felling the pine.
