mr. skeans likes a block face, so do i, it works good for me in hardwood to steer with out much fiber pull. i guess now that i can do vids, i will have to show Jon some different things i do with hardwood.

i have some field edge pine i think a sizwheel will work well on...........i understand what it does and how, i just have trouble with the order of the cuts in my head.

Watch a bunch if Cody's videos, he does a lot if sizwell stuff. Particularly his snag videos.

Search 'Tarzan Thomas' on YouTube.

You can also combine a sizwell with a swinging D to really pull a tree.

it don't resemble any from the north end of the state, with loaded limbs hanging low or color! bottom end looks more like white spruce ,even somewhat like white pine in the mid/top....

that he built, on the porch of the house he built, with the lumber he milled, from the trees he felled, from the forest his father and grandfather planted and thinned. That's the sort of legacy this 1st generation wood hack covets.

Nice clean block face Skeans! Is the hardwood alder? I can't what most anything is out your way with all the moss. Wood looks almost like hard maple or beech.

Nice pics Captain! What kind of wood is that in your first pic? Looks like some fun ground.

The hardwood was alder, I have a little maple on the whole place but not much.

And if they have a nice lean, you can split them halfway up the tree on the back cut,saves a lot of axe work later.


OOps ,was suposed to quote the post above this one .

Or pull half the stump swinging them around less stumping later.

You guys can leave part of the face on the butts? Not required to square them up?

We always leave this part, but we fix the logger's tape after it when we measure the tree.

Used or new, got mine used for I think 450? maybe 500? probably paid a little too much... But they are hard to find.

 

[Skeans]

Just saw a used one I may go pick up I know a few guys looking for grinders.

If it's a newer style ine with the adjustable arms in good shape $500 wouldn't be bad.

 

[Skeans]

It's the 450

I paid $250 for mine, shipped from OR.

Unfortunately, the guy just tossed it in an oversized box, no padding or nothing. By the time it got to me, the table was busted in half, screws bent, light broke.

I was pissed. . . Fixable though.
