Steve here... Well my 088 made the UPS ride back safe to Wisconsin, after receiving Ken's woods saw treatment.
Sounds awesome, can't wait to cut wood Saturday.
As you can see by the pic she's resting comfortably in her
humidity controlled safe.....
ps I sure hope that little canuk's 088 ate that 3120 for lunch!!!

You better start lifting weights for all the "heavy metal" you've accumulated within the last month.

Steve's 088 Stihl

Hello Guys,
I did finally get steve's 088 off to him. The cutting time stock in a 24 inch log was 16.18 seconds. after the porting and other mods it cut a 9.38 with the same bar and chain in the same log. It also cut a 1.88in a 8 inch cant before and a 1.09 after the mods. After you get it broken in it should be faster steve
Seth,(nelsonfrye) i've got your 088 on the bench but it will take a bit longer because of the cylinder head and pipe and header work but I'm coming along on it.

WoW, a 42% decrease in cutting time! Very impressive

congrats on your 88 Steve. I like it's home. You better get them rifles out of there and store them in the shed or something, that 88 is bound to get pissed, having to share quarters with mixed company and everything. I can smell a showdown between KD's woodsaws, 3120 vs. 088.
