Getting ready to take a biggie...

That was a damn nice red oak. 28" bar on the 372 just made it thru. Tree was dead but totally solid, kind of rare for a tree of this size around where I cut they are usually hollow or rotten in the middle. Lots of good firewood in it. Altogether I would say we got close to 5 dump truck loads of logs staged and ready to haul this weekend. Each load is I would say about 2.5-3 cords. Not bad for just me and the wife on our first weekend in the woods.

A few more...

Now that's a nice pair of masterminded saws!

But talk about the perfect 3 saw combo for the woods.... Love me some orange saw...

ain't they purdy? Left to right masterminded 372, wicked 562, Treemonkey'd 346. Damn fine combo. I think all the world's problems could probably be solved with them three right there.

I should have called you, it was an absolute perfect weekend of cutting out in the woods. I as of now am planning to go out again next weekend, the weather channel is saying its going to be nice again.

I'll try to make it. It is a good time of year to be in the woods before the skeeters get bad.

I don't think that 'just you and the wife' qualify as the typical firewood gathers . . .

Must be free cinderblock mac week. This 610 came my way yesterday. Didn't need much, a quick cleaning of the saw, then gas tank and a shot of gas down the carb and she popped right off and ran. Haven't had it out cutting yet, chain was rusty from sitting and is soaking in pentrating oil. Chain brake is gone out of the clucth cover too, but no biggie. The shop by me has a pile of 610's in back for parts.

Thanks. I always enjoy making a stool out in the woods.

It's nice that you have your own wooded area to do things like that in private. . . .

How we doin folks? Awfully quiet round these parts. Did you all get a real life or somethin? Not me, I'm still here.

We had a real fun day cutting out in the woods. Just me and Sarah. I ran my new 562xp that we just got from Terry Landrum and I gotta say it is about as close to a perfect firewood saw as I could imagine. When I cut something the 20" bar of the 562 couldn't make it thru I used my Masterminded 372 with the 28" techlite, man I like that thing. Sarah was using her Masterminded 2153 Jonsered, and I also brought my 346 but didn't use it, I just couldn't put the 562 down. Gonna go back out tomorrow!!!

They really are the shiz eh???
