OK kinda, Using the basket case 046, (hey it was thirty bucks and its already hopped up)

 

[Gologit]

Nice stick.

 

[northmanlogging]

it's a shame the rest of em had a bunch of center rot. Guy I fell em for is a good friend and is trying to make ends meet, but we had to lose about 10' of 1/2-3/4 of em.

Mostly hammer and his apprentice, but I have some in there from the last 7 days.

Ted! I'm glad to hear you're back on the saw. Thats an inter-estin' little log truck. Keep the pics comin!

it came in a box missing a few parts but once I put it all back together again it fired up and has been my main saw for 3-4 years now... been nearly killed more than a few times, I file the rakers a little to far and some times it hooks on stuff and gets pulled out of my hands when the tree goes over... think I'd learn by now...:msp_unsure:

Can't wait to get my office setup at home, gotta old photo of my Uncle "Hoot" MacNaughton, in burnt off, logged OG Redwood, standing on a stump with an old saw.

I got to tip some timber last week.

I chose to use the 066 I built for the guy. . . It was waaaaay more saw than needed -- and I was pretty damn sore by the end!

You can tell when you aren't used to tossing a 066 around all day fer sure. I'm hoping to go back again this week -- I love falling trees.

By god I wanna play!

A chest high stump I made today:

An ugly birch from high stump. Don't ask me what's the thing on the right side on the picture.

Now that's better. Limbed and bucked.

 

[Metals406]

Cut that stump off at the ground and sell that burl!

No can do - private land... The owner wants to have the burl, so I let him cut it off.

I can't resist: What's the thing on the right side in the picture? :msp_tongue:

Nice pics, are those birch destined for lumber, chipping, or firewood? Paper birch over here is generally nowhere near that limb infested, usually 20-30' of clean log with a puffy top.

You tell me, Steve. I don't know. First I thought it's a part of my camera, but the colour doesn't match. Doesn't look like a finger either.

Few logs are going to a plywood mill, but most of that timber is sheer pulp.

Silver birch has usually a nice figure, but if it has too much space, it might grow ugly.

AKA wolf tree.


They roll really far on steep ground if you drop em for entertainment.
