Husky 357 & Clearwater

[John from Calif]

All,

Back in April you all helped me with deciding on buying a Husky 357XP to use on our 80 acres in Calif. Based on the input, I contacted Dennis who turned out to be a pretty nice guy to deal with. He and I talked on the Friday before the Clearwater revival and we are working on a slightly modified saw with an invite added to the revivial. My wife and I were sadly not able to make arringments to come up from Redondo Beach on such short notice but it looked like a great time and we will be there next year! Thanks to all of you for your help and advise. Also, I have read many posts (started by Ginger) regarding the best way to fell a tree and have ordered the Fellers & Buckers Handbook. My question is, does anyone know of any classes in the Southern California area for how to use a saw. Actually, I know how to read use it, I'm looking for actual hands on instruction that will help me keep my hands and other important appendages intact. Thanks again all!

John

I am mourning the loss of my 357, but I sure loved it in the chainsaw throw.

John, was the saw running when you pitched it through the tree like that, or did you wind up like in "fast pitch" softball? I usually only throw small Stihls that hard! LOL If this is the sort of competition I will be up against next year in Clearwater, I may not make it then either! BTW, very nice aim. Russ

PS. what 357 - never heard of it - what about the 346 eh?
