I kept going in to firewood mode (I was supposed to be trimming)
Most the time I cut back in that little spot in the woods, there
Was a pretty big pile of cut wood I left back there,along with a few logs left.
You could cut for days and days out there!

Now that folks have had a day to recuperate, how do you feel?

 

[awol]

Feel the same as any other day.

It is hard to keep from cutting firewood at a firewood cut, and it's even harder to clean and prepare it for cutting, and then watch someone else cut it all up!

 

[cobey]

Worn out, I cut Friday at a friends house also

 

[workshop]

First off, I want to thank everybody for this being the best Charity Cut on record. It was great seeing old friends and seeing others for the first time. For those that like to see numbers, we have delivered over 168 loads of wood this season and about 775 since we started 5 years ago and all has been a struggle untill you all came on the scene.
We had figured approximetly 55 pick up loads were processed, which comes to a hair over 18 cord of wood. I think we got started about 9 am and finished about 7 pm, give or take. Almost 2 cord of wood per hour. In my book that's just phenominal. While most of this probably won't be delivered until later this summer, we have been able to make a few deliveries now in order to get folks ready for next season. We have never been able to that before. It's all due to you guy's, and gal's, efforts and willingness to help out.
All I can say is the equipment that was brought, and everybody that ran the equipment, or saws out in the woods, are the best folks around and I count myself VERY lucky indeed to have friends such as you all.
Thanks so very much and look forward to meeting old friends and new ones, again, at Charity Cut 5, Saturday May 3rd.

PS, Mrs. Samtip, you make the best cookies on the planet.

All this because Steve liked playing with saws

That is almost 100,000lbs of wood.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I cut a chunk out of it with a saw...
Does that count..??

Only if it was the 9010. and you swung it bay the bar.

When I woke up this morning I felt great, which is truly surprising.

I felt like I'd be hit with a few logs and run over by a tractor and drug behind a horse. But it was fun!

I have a question for you Super Split owners. Have you tried splitting any of the nasty species of trees; such as sycamore, sweet gum, elm? If so how does it perform? Are these Super Splitters going to be there in May?

 

[sam-tip]

Super splitt has a heavier model for the tough stuff. Bigger wheels motor and gear reduction for extra push. I think it is the special edition modle. We had the J and HD at the charit cut.

If ALL you split is the nasty gnarly stringy stuff, you're better off with a BIG hydro! But the SS will split the nastys fairly well. I split mostly oak, hickory & red elm, would not trade the SS for any other splitter out there!

them super splits look neat! are they high dollar?
