    Have an auto repair customer that needed some tree removal done, sure no problem, I know some guys. Barc Busters Tree Service from the forum. Took out the trouble trees no problem, even let me help a little. Happy customer, she burns wood & mentions that she needs someone with a big saw to cut up a large Oak tree that was dropped a year ago, sure I can do that. Yep, big Red Oak, 40" at the stump laying on a grade, no big deal, till she tells me her stove can only take 14" max so she needs it cut at 12". Ran 5 tanks of fuel through the 660 making what amounts to cookies, man am I tired. Saw ran great didn't hit anything to dull the chain, but what a tedious job.

    That is some good looking wood. That Oak always makes me jealous.

    They do look like extra wide cookies.

    Those do look familiar. Easy to split when they are that thin. And stacking turns into a 3-D puzzle.

    Now that would have been a good idea too! Perhaps I should invite people to do that?

    It would be fun to have a big hardwood log to run Cole's 084 & a couple of the big ported saws in. Something big enough to bury a 3' bar.

    I'll see what we can do. No promises though. The biggest we have here is some 27-30" ash Cole dropped off.
