Stoveshamster and i had the superintendent of the golf course drop a beautiful hickory tree for us. A few hours of pure entertainment. Enjoy the pics!
As Stoveaclause said phenomenal couple of hours exercising our Stihl saws on some hickory. Here’s some more pics. Me and Stoveaclause side by side. Dueling Stihls A little oak mixed in for good measure The last two days of hoarding. Just taking a few here and there to diversify. Locust Hickory Poplar oak
Ha. That’s the superintendent. It’s his property. I forgot about him. Guy’s crazy. He fell it then ran the Cat. Wants to do another tomorrow. I said no for now. We took about 2/3 of the hickory we bucked. May grab some more Monday. I’m running out of space with some walnut and oak still To cut
Long Island is seeming more and more like the "land of chocolate", except for firewood. Mhhhh... the land of chocolate...
Just thinking out loud here... it looks like the mini ex has a thumb could it be used to pick the log up off the ground while it’s being cut?
Was thinking the same thing. But we cut only halfway through. Then he rolled it for us and we cut the rest of the way.
You got the job done! I envy you guys that get calls for you to come get free wood, it’s almost unheard of here. On the little 1 mile road I live on there are about 20 houses 15 have wood piles and smoke out the chimney nobody is giving away wood.
Nice haul! Ear and eye protection is the cheapest insurance you can buy. I hope you don’t take offense.
I have a chainsaw helmet with ear muffs and a mask. I should have been wearing it but I was not. Agreed!
Great job guys. Love me some hickory and them saws too. Nice to put faces (well at least profiles) to the names as well. AWHNR!
Golf course near me in StonyBrook had an area where they stockpiled all their cut trees. Town got after them to empty it out and clean it up. They hired a friend of mine to do it. Got 4 big dump truck loads of oak, walnut and cherry from there all log length. Oak was so old all the sapwood and bark was gone. When I cut it up the 24” red oak it was still soaking wet.
