I think I remember what she is talking about. they are about 40" diameter cookies that are cut about 3/4 through. No easy way for her to roll them to cut and lay them down.
A picture is worth a 1000 words. The rounds are still connected on one edge, where the shiftless tree service guy never rolled it to cut the underside. The homeowner flipped it vertical for whatever reason, I'm glad he did, because now I can get at it. The rounds are about 3 foot in diameter.
I would be afraid of getting the bar trapped between 2 rounds. I guess I could pound some wood props or wedges between them to keep them apart. I'll bring the saw, best to be prepared.
Same thing as cuttin a stump , yes take some wedges , if your saw gets stuck you can easily get it out
You might try a pry bar dealing with those biguns too , probably help to get the top one off after you cut em . This is what I use
That picture made me actually laugh out loud. I don't suppose you worked for Saturday Night Live, back in their early years?
If the semi-sawed rounds are oriented like that, and you can actually get up above them, being oak, they should split pretty easily, I would think. Slab off pieces around the edges and nibble away each layer. When smaller, you'd be able to tip it over and finish the cuts.
Easy as cutting a piece of pie. Lay that thing down with the cut part down and where you need to cut right on top. Just line up the cut and zip, you'll be done quick and no need for wedge or prybar either. When doing the cut you can do it either from top down toward what is cut already or slip the bar inside the cut and cut pulling up; that is, cut with the top of the bar. But you'll probably feel best just cutting down as you usually do. With that wood and the 170, it will be super easy.
If you are suggesting that I push it over from the vertical, I don't think I have the body mass or physical strength.
That picture is just an example of how the much larger piece is. The rounds that's partially cut, is about 40 inches in diameter. A big piece of oak. A real picture of the wood at the dump, with something on/near itfor perspective, would tell all
its easily 40" wide, and at least 36" tall. I have a picture of my maul on the stump when I was there after her first visit, but I cant get it to load. I'm twice her size, and Im sure I would have to grunt to push it over.
Well stay tuned, I'm going to tackle the triple-decker tomorrow, unless it's pouring rain in the afternoon. If so, then Saturday. Today is a big drag. I'm waiting around for a carpet shampooer man to show up in Cambridge MA. I am so done with Cambridge. Glad I picked up some wood in the AM.
The birch stack is just something she threw together, to represent the much larger oak that she's going to attack. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
