    Oh, to see that much of Mother Earth again. I wonder what it would look like without all this white stuff. Also, I agree about that chain!

    Now thats a score! Cut too? :cool:

    I see you built the "tilt o log" (I have rights to the name of course) :cool: How did it work?

    Looks like a big ash maybe?

    Tilt-o-log worked great, you can see the size of logs I threw up there! (first pic) (and I got a bum arm) Yes, it was ash, probably 30" DBH.

    Shindaiwa hung out in the truck, no cutting today. I did however clean it, filed the bar, sharpened the chain and dialed in the carb, now we're ready to give it a run. That saw has been out of my possession for about 5 years, I'm glad to have it back, I've owned it for about 15 years.
