[paccity]

[DUGs-sawshop]

THing on right of pic looks like saw sitting on the stump.

 

[northmanlogging]

ah I was happier thinking it was some kind of fancy European car or van, aliens maybe...

 

[tramp bushler]

Yup. Sam it looks you left the saw sitting on the stump and walked around to take the pic.

At least that's what it looks like. From half a world away. :msp_wink:

 

[Samlock]

Yee-haw! The wind was coming late morning so I had everything laid out already when the bottom av spring went. Had to buck everything up, but made er work.

I may never bore again. White oak that was leaning way out there.

T handle Coos!

When I looked at this job in March this was full of water. Makes for a short skid!

Makin Time! Bunkin 200bf+ at a crack makes for quick 1200bf turns.

Those high doubles are a pain. Either you cut low and hope they stay together, cut high, or rip em first.

If'n ya look real close there is some barbed wire running through it... got more pictures but my eenternut conection is kinda crapy...

 

[paccity]

sometimes they split when they hit.

 

[Samlock]

I see you had chance for a nice sitz bath too, North.

 

[northmanlogging]

Yep they split when they hit. Another reason for the high stump is all the funk needs bucked off anyway...

 

[northmanlogging]

Another high stump for ya...
a low stump just don't pay any attention to the fence...
and a rotten bastard had to swing between a chicken coop and an old utility trailer...

 

[Metals406]

Freaking cedar. . . Always rotten when they get any size in'em.

 

[northmanlogging]

Ya but it usually doesn't go to far up the stem so ya can still get a few good logs out of em, That last one I'm not so sure about, it was pretty funky, I was just putting em on the ground the homeowner wants to do all the bucking and limbing, skidding and well everything except the scary stuff around his house :msp_scared: He would probably do it all if he could lift his big saw still and run out of the way

Too true. . . It just sucks to see a 5' tree go over and you have to long-butt 30' of it. Sometimes they have enough rind to make it worth using for split rail or something.

I've seen some toad spruce here with the same affliction.
