Cutting on cedar

What a nice aroma…saw cut thru it like butter the log had been sitting a very long time…behind is some oak and locust cut over at jbsawmans

 

Thats a biggun. Always a pleasure working cedar whether milling or bucking.

 

Holy smokes, chain marks are gnarly. Is that semi 404?

 

Yeah i was running my homelite xp1000 because we were cutting alot of filthy locust

 

Yeah i was enjoying cutting that one for sure..also nice change from pin oak aroma wise

 

Youre not kidding there. Pin oak can be some pungent stuff.

 

Reminds me of changing diapers

 

Something I've never done and not on my bucket list either. Mebbe my own when I'm old and incontinent enough!

 

Yes Rick was using his xp the 404 semi chisel is way more forgiving in dirty wood than full chisel 3/8 we had my 592 there but with the speed of that and 3/8 chisel it goes dull in no time on the dirty old logs some of these have been sitting @8 years in this pile I am trying to salvage what I can before starting on the newer stuff thanks again to RickyBlazin for the help JB

 

Cedar and locust is a great mix for my fireplace. Locust burns hot and coals up well while the cedar burns with bright flames and lots of popping and crackling.
