    20221203_083710.jpg 20221203_150315.jpg Buddy and I cut this forked oak today. Was a nice day. Didn't get to split much, dad is sick so I shut down early and feed the cows and put out hay. 20221203_083647.jpg

    Nice line up of saws. I got my 394 w/ the low filter set-up too. I found it was leaking some fines so if you haven't, apply a bit of grease around the base of the filter. I've since converted to the HD high top that clamps on the elbow.
    And, awesome score on the monster WO. That should yield quite a bit of splits. :dex:

    Always fun to use several saws at a cut and that tree looks perfect for such. Some of that looks ready to burn. Feel better soon dad!

    They didn't. Bigger than they look though. Both sides were wider than the 38" bar on the 394 at the but cut

    Yes sir. Nice and open and flat. That's a 8' drop straight down to the river behind the stump. Cut it high because of wire.
