Taking down some white oaks and poplar

If no one’s ever told you, make the stump cut last, especially if you only have one saw. High likelihood it will dull your saw. I was hoping to not have to sharpen another saw today.

 

Let's see if I understand correctly. People living in the eastern part of the country don't burn pine cause it will burn their house down and people living in the western part of the country don't burn oak cause it burns too hotGot it

 

Isn’t your new battery powered saw a top handle?

 

This is exactly what I was imagining when I saw his face cut. Good to know I’m not alone

 

Is there ever a chance of a chipper from work wandering home with you for the weekend?

 

I think that was his work saw.

 

Belongs to my employer and I’m not a fan of the safety switch design. It makes it pretty close to impossible to cut with your left hand. The new 220t eliminates the dumb button.

 

If I did many others would want the same privilege and than it would become a broke down hoor.

 

Yeah I wish Right now I need some 20 ft white for a lowboy deck I called my log hauler and he just laughed

 

Thanks for the offer long drive !! if you were closer I would consider I have been sawing ash for barn siding been real busy JB

 

I sure love to burn pine. I love the oak too, I'll take all I can get. Not sure what they're worried about. They all burn Douglas fir, which is a member of the PINE family! Jokes on them!

 

It’s easier to split when fresh

 

My understanding on either side Green Wood burns houses down, and on the west coast, dry cottonwood that's bad for flying embers burns houses down that have cedar shingle or shake roofs! Have a good day !!!

 

That looks like how hickory splits. Little stringy, not hateful.

 

Lots of built in kinlin, but %100 easier than Hickory. Hickory heartwood on bigger rounds is as hateful as Elm imo. I’m pretty close to banning any hickory over 16”. Hickory stacks collapse too. Recently had bark falling off Hickory that still put up a fight. I had to break out the hatchet. No bueno
I’ve split bigger White Oak that had strings I had to chop. They separate easier when rounds are fresh.

 

Finally got to a Poplar. It’s got to be pushing 100’ and 32” dbh.

The heavy tree size back limb wore on my nerve, but with wedge and rope persuasion it went south.


Z best saw of course


Used up all my margin for error

Whoever cleans it up can have the logs.

 

Oh..how I long to have a 272xp again. Nice saw !

 

That one made a good thunk when it hit.

 

Nice job sir. Wish i was closer. Id take tulip in a heatbeat. I need some fast drying stuff.

You wont burn that yourself?
