I dropped this cherry tree today. It's about 14" diameter (measured red-to-red) at the base. It's nice and straight up to about 19' and then it has a very solid looking, symmetrical crotch. From the outside, it looks like the crotch figure will be close to 3 feet. With this tree and one more chestnut oak log I pulled out today, I now have enough logs to call a portable saw mill sawyer. Any of you locals want to come over and help out? Plus, I got to break in my new light-weight 25" bar. I like it very much, thank you.
That's some good looking wood and saw! I also bought a new tsumura light and tuff just waiting on my saw to try it. I'm in the same camp waiting on some purdy milled wood pictures!
Where did you get the bar? I might want to get a 32" for my Dolmar PS-6400 but it needs to be 3/8"-0.050 gauge.
I got mine from thechainsawguy on Ebay. He's up in Canada and I believe he only carries o.o63, However, fordf150 carries 0.050 bars, so I would recommend that you contact him.
