Stikyas I believe they define the definition of butt swell. Seen some pretty exoctic spring board on the old growth

Very cool.

Looks like beautiful country, nice logs, and good weather. Days like that just don't happen often enough, but hopefully enough to make the rough days worthwhile. Thanks for the reminder of what a good day in the woods can be.

I have yet to cut any spruce. How does it behave on the stump compared to DF?

there not to much diff. the holding wood lets go sooner ,not as pitchy , dont make as much noise as df when the hinge lets go. i love doing these little cat and or yoder jobs. fairly casual work pace . no high production sides for me any more thank you. to old, fat and gimpy to do that anymore. it's a nice change from doing res removals. no i'am not an arborist. i just make them go away. usually don't care, if you want nathan, you can come look at some of the unhealthy ones and tell me why. :msp_smile:

Looking good! I wish I could skim off some of the plots around here, but we got to take both good and bad.

Question: How do you usually limb the low sides of the timber? You can't roll those long logs, can you? Or do you process them on the landing?

the staubs that are on the bottom get a nip if i can reach them . other wise they come of during skidding and cleaned up on the landing. the good export logs can't have knots over 4" and so many per foot. there were some nice ones in that stand but more shaggy than good .
