Finally got my white oak logs sawn up. I chose to have both logs simply flitch-sawan (bark-to-bark). The butt log was super clean and sawn 10/4....
Had to trade in a great MS260 to get the wife an MS251CBE with the easy start. She has a tough time starting a standard pull saw.
[Q Very cool! That should be a very strong hive. Can't beat free either.
I have an MS261, 361 and 461. They serve me excellently. I lust after the MS201TCM , 241 and 661. Do I need them, hell no. Do I want them,...
Oh yeah! I'm filling out my "hit list." I've got several that are really easy to get to and were completely defoliated this year by the tent...

Bottom line: ~12 gallons. Details: We are running 4 hives this year, all from new packages since last winter killed all of our hives. 3 hives...
Wow!
You got that right! It takes while to sharpen a 105 dl chain for the 32" bar. :faint:
A colleague at work said he was having a red oak taken down at his house and asked if I wanted it vs. having the tree service dispose of it. I...
Awesome!:dex::dex::dex: Only down side is you can't do the fun part of bucking it up, vs. all the other labor to get it into firewood
General Electric TF34-GE-100 Nothing like it.
