    Who doesn't like some ash on Christmas!?

    I had a small ash fall over a trail over the summer. It was covered in vines so I didn't want to mess with it. Well with the snow it's in the way for riding the snowmobile around the yard so today it met the saw.

    Not a big tree, maybe 8 inches at the base.

    I so dislike bittersweet. If kudzu is the vine that swallowed the south, bittersweet is the vine that swallowed the northeast.

    "Took" the saw from my dad years ago, it's probably 30 years old. I like to use it for small work instead of messing with the 361. It's a good little saw!
