I’m thinking just bigger logs. I want to use this saw sparingly and not as a general work saw. But… we’ll see how much I like it once I really try...
My (correct) chains arrived safely this morning. I’m really digging the look of this saw wearing a 24” bar :thumbs: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
42 overcast and damp for what feels like the 147th day in a row. Burning black cherry, red oak, yellow birch scraps, and a little Kentucky Coffee...
I’m finally getting into this saw this week. Since the choke is integrated into the air filter, I bought one and a new fuel line and filter, since...
It looks more like red maple to me. Silver maple has more of a shaggy-looking bark.
It's interesting how we don't all get the same results burning the same species. Black cherry for me lasts a while in the coaling stage (but...
That was exactly my experience with bitternut hickory. It put out a lot of heat, but it didn't live up to the hype with the burn time. It left a...
42 raw and drizzling. Burning a mixed load with one split of ash, one of black cherry, one of red oak, and a couple scraps of yellow birch and...
The state has been clearing trees along route 9 northbound in Cromwell too, at nighttime nonetheless. I come through there at about quarter to...
Agreed, the timber form looks like tulip poplar (dead straight) but the wood color/grain isn’t right and those don’t look like TP seeds hanging...
All of the elm I cut today will get halved next year. The next time I cut there I’ll get more of the top, which is smaller diameter stuff I don’t...
Limited time to cut today, but every little bit helps. A little more black locust plus some elm, because it was convenient and a nice size to work...
Has anyone tried this? Seems like a good skill to add to your arsenal. Part 1: [MEDIA] Part 2: [MEDIA]
It ended up being just shy of a face cord of locust. I plan to get at least another load this winter, once inventory under cover plummets some...
I haven’t cut any dead/down/barkless black locust since the summer of 2020. I forgot how nice it splits. I swear the bulk of it is dry enough to...
33 and holding overnight. Elm, pine, red oak and cherry in the Lopi.
Hickory has a darker center. That looks like elm to me, of the red variety.
He did buck a few rounds, but cutting 8" mulberry it's hard to get a feel for the saw. Best to bury the bar in a large oak round for that.
You never know around here whether wood will get scooped up overnight or sit around for decades before someone sees the value in it. Given this...
Lol as the traffic light turned green and I pulled out into traffic, I heard and felt it when I hit the bump stops :picard: Glad I was so close to...
