Nope, not me, that is a kid named Ted. The saw is a McCulloch CP125, I think this was taken in the mid 1980s, during the Great Maxxam slaughter.

Is that measuring from the exposed root on the left, to the one on the right? :msp_razz:

Dammit Randy always gotta flaunt those big timber pics makin mine look puny!

Nice pics Kid!

Clear cutting a house site. Good thing too. We had frost in the ground until last weekend. Its rained several inches this week. Yep upper 30s and low 40s with steady rain. My guess is this timber hasn't been cut for 120- 150 years.

The saw is exactly 4'. I know that cause I use it to measure my 8' pulp sticks.

To me there really is nothing like releasing a suspended log! I love how it hops off the buck! Sorry for the blurry pic. It was raining like a ##### that day.

Yeah its cutting out pretty well! I forgot how much fuel a guy can burn through! I think I was born to cut big timber. Now if only they were about three times as tall...

Got 5 twelves out of this basswood. I was pretty surprised for flat ground.

The oaks in here aren't super tall just fat. Maybe 30 to 40 feet of logs in the main leader. They've all got logs in the tops as long as they don't bust up too bad though. I had 50 feet of logs in the tallest one so far.

Cutting the far side off of this one allowed it to roll more than swing I think, but it laid crotch flat. She was all lean and crown weight.

This washed out of the bank of the new driveway! I sent a picture to my cousin and he sends back that I should pound that ####er!

Boss man found a mason jar of spirits in the woods a month or so back. It was a little weak, but was fun to drink.

Who knows who had their kisser on that last...... YUK.

 

[northmanlogging]

sniff it first, alcohol kills every germ out there, and most natural poisons, but not the band... Is that because coke is alcohols antidote?

 

[northmanlogging]

define funny colors?

I'm a little more nutty. I will typically jump in first and go for it lol.
