The big one is beech. That tree was about 200 years old but mostly rotten. The nicest size wood was punk and ended up in the chipper. Tractor is...
White oak. Unfortunately it was from a laneway and full of iron. Kinda takes the fun out of things
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Getting ready to do some noodling with the Stihl 360, 20" bar. Out of the wind and no too cold for outside work, this stuff will...
Home made. Angle iron, flat bar, and a bit of round stock. I can use the flat side to pull all the ash to the front, flip it over to rake the...

When I was just starting to walk again I would have a crutch under one arm and a saw in the other hand . Crutch to the log, make one cut, sit...
The avatar is me with the first piece of wood that I milled with my Alaskan mill. I ordered it before the fall and it arrived a couple weeks...
Yep. Now I know where to draw the line. A professional arborist told me "it's not IF you are going to fall, its WHEN! Crazy part is prior to...
Sorry for the delay, I don't always get a chance to check in. The accident goes like this. This past spring I was asked by a friend to take out a...
I just wish oak didn't take sooooooo long to dry. I moisture tested some two year old stuff at the beginning of this season, stored on skids,...
