I figured it was ground more for durability than speed, which is fine. After the first sharpening I’ll give the side plate some more forward lean,...
I'm one click away from pulling the trigger on 25' of factory square ground from Frawleys in Iowa, who seem to have it cheapest. They're another...
I've been eyeing Duke's chain for a while... You've run it before? Is it actually fairly comparable to Stihl RS? The geometry looks aggressive.
I suppose I'm done for the season. At these temperatures I don't mind burning a little bit of oil sporadically, rather than trying to have a small...
Food, fun, fellowship. Looks like a phenomenal time. :thumbs: That's only a 12 hour drive for me, I should make a concerted effort to make it next...
Everything I'm running is old :whistle: Even my "modern" 372XP is at least 15 years old, same with the 395XP & Jonsered 2150. But most everything...
You could almost call it that. A woodpile is like money in the bank, when you're using it to keep the oil truck away as long as possible.
Seeing an entire winter's worth of my red oak disappear in a couple weeks time is not one of the highlights of my hoarding career, that's for...
Step one: buy a clone saw if it appeals to you, because if you're truly a free market type of person, you support the free market full stop Step...
That's strange because IIRC Oregon makes Husqvarna's chains. I know on the few Vanguard style I have they're identical between the chains stamped...
Why… yes I suppose I am :emb: The new dream is to burn all of my hard work myself :D
One more load of red oak today, two more planned for tomorrow. Then only 4 more next week before the summer hiatus. 3 more final loads this fall...
Amazon has been hit or miss with sending me the correct ones. Price wise they seem to have an edge over most everyone else though....
Beech can be a real beech to split. The last time I got it 2 years ago I noodled everything into manageable quarters then split all of it with...

Must be nice... Out here you need gills to breathe in our atmosphere from mid June until Labor Day.
All the beech I've ever cut smelled great when processing. It's hard to say what it smells similar to, but it is pleasant. Comparable BTU's to oak...
I'm seeing Norway maple myself. Dries fast and burns longer than red maple, but not quite as many BTU's as sugar maple.

The first of what will be 9 loads total over the next couple weeks to one of last year’s customers. All red oak. [ATTACH]
