    37" white oak i felled and processed. IMG_3904.JPG IMG_4429.JPG
    36" ash from January IMG_1680.JPG IMG_1684.JPG
    36" oak i just cut Sunday IMG_2010.JPG
    Ive never had to cut from both sides with the 36" bar. Had the opportunity to buck this 44" log (one with the half black end), but had no way to move it. IMG_4395.JPG

    I got an assist from M2theB with bucking them down to size that I could split. His assist I remain very grateful for.
