Lots of ground for new homes in the High Plains of MT, WY, CO, ID, NE. Lots of god fearing hard working folks looking to leave this overtaxed, over crowded, drug den...

Ya all should welcome them as brothers

@Jacob J. @slowp @tarzanthomas @hammerlogging @datalogger @Burvol @Gologit I see some of you folks show up as taggable; others appear long gone from the site. It's been a long time since I was here last. Hope all is well. I am sure I've forgotten some people.

I haven't been on the saw in a long time. The last time was somewhere in New Mexico a few years ago - had been 7 years since regular saw use up to hat point. Cutting some Doug-firs for a friend.

Stay safe and watch the top!

Nice day to be felling some Ash and Beech, to open up the hard maple stand.

 

[woodfarmer]

and a few more

A little video. Got it to roll over just where i wanted it.

A few more, one triple hinge to swing the tree and another back cut first to send the tree in the opposite direction.

Another beautiful day in the woods, had to add a little excitement, knocked it down with the one in the background to the right

Maple?

 

[northmanlogging]

Maple?

Now the chair makes sense with all the moss and the white straight grain hade me thinking maple at first. I have seen maple grown like that fracture and peel even when bucking when they’re under stress. Straight grain is great for splitting though!

the maple out here splits fine when its green, but if it dries out its like iron..

That alder damn near splits by pointing your finger and saying split. No need to place it upright, just tap it on its side and its good.

Practiced yesterday on a few dead Ash. Pictures taken by my cutting buddy. My stump shots are held hostage in my home computer which beginning last Thursday won't work on AS any longer.

Putting in the face.

All went well. For the eagle eyes - yes, I had to put some work into fixing the face. I missed big time with that short bar. Would have brought a longer bar if I had known ahead of time what was to be cut.

Another one leaving the stump.

Felled with my new off-brand FI saw. Really needs a wrap - almost a pound of the weigh savings will be gone and more $$ out of my pocket but a wrap is so convenient.

Last of the Ash in this section. Bought an old hydro pole trailer, can get 6-24”x 24’ logs on it

 

[BlackCoffin]

I want some of that! Tall and straight grain.

 

[woodfarmer]

Put a new 20” handle on an old 4-5 lb axe head I had, this should pound wedges well.

I don’t post much in this section, but here goes. Doing some spruce logging with my father this winter. Having a blast working with him and his old skidder that he has run for over 40 years.
Just logging the more mature trees and some blowdown from a summer wind storm we had.

I really like your log trailer, nice!
