I'll try it again.
Bob's old school. . . He was using smoke signals.
Nah...I'm pre-fire. I was banging rocks together. :msp_wink:

I brought home an old logging saw, the thing sings tales of old growth timber. The story goes like this. It was used on the Larabee for one season back in '73 and hung in a barn until last month. It looks the part, 48" Cannon roller, Redwood spikes, heavy sawchain and enough wear to show it did it's job. Some one with really good hands used it, very little breakage, not chewed up. I had an attrition rate, I would like to think it was moderate and maybe not. No need to get into that now.
The thing is on a rug in front of my fake fireplace, sitting with a ten degree list caused by the spikes, kinda looks like its going down by the stern. The little black and tan growled at it.
Anyway, It's a Homelite 2100S, I bought it mostly for the bar, now I'm not sure I can part with it. If the weather allows, I'll sneak into the state park and take some pictures.
We had a heavy drizzle day, with varying degrees of saturation.
I'm sure the banana slugs loved it.

Sounds neat Randy. If your spring down there has been anything like ours, a drizzle would be welcome compared to the rain we've been getting!
Close, locals say,"Beeuna" Vista, but it is "Bwaena" Vista Its funny you mention Buena Vista because I razz everyone I meet that says it wrong. Everybody said I was dumb, until I finally got my bosses wife to credit my way, the correct way of saying it. All it is is spanish, meaning good or pleasant view.. Small town about like La Grande, been through there a million times on the way to and coming from work.

Oh, Yeah! That's what I'm talking about! Nice saw. I'll have to take some pics of some that I have hanging up in my shop and post them. That's a dandy for sure. Nice score!
Nice, we will have to meet up one day Oldtimer.
Nice find. You run it, I'll watch. Makes my right shoulder and elbow ache just looking at it.
Did it come out of the Mattole country?

Bob, it came from Larabee Creek, just east of Redcrest. Its no Yeagar Creek, but I think there were a few trees there.
What are the cutters (#) on that sawchain ?

Is that saw leaning on the tree or the tree leaning on it?

A video I took today with my phone
[video]http://youtu.be/4gsyRQeHHZY[/video] Here is a vid I took today with my phone. These old boys of this caliber are what its all about. This old card is 65 years old and still puts a hell of a pile of wood on the ground. I always listen and keep my trap shut when a feller like this has got something to say about cutting.
