Started making a custom cup cake stand for a wedding this weekend. Two slabs cherry with tree forks between them ..........

Text 'em to me and I'll post for you.

Morning gents, up early, going out to my buddy's farm this morning and cut some hedge.

Where is this farm Jim? Be careful, going up near 90 today.

Morning Jim, Bryan, Carl and everyone that is still Counting saws.

Hah! Saw count went down yesterday with the sale of the Homie 800 but we are working on a deal for a Large Wards.

The (former) Fisher-Price saw now lives 40 mi. south of KC. Making 24" dia. x 4" thick ceder cookies to make into little tables is the fellow's intent. Good luck with that as it will crack into pie sections I think.

How sappy is hedge this time of year? I know when I have cut it in early winter it has oozed a thick white sap that is very sticky and makes a mess of everything. Have been afraid of trying to cut hedge in early fall for the mess it might create.

Hedge were you running the black widow this evening. I bet you can hear it 4 ridges over.Maybe 10 or so miles of flat land.I heard a rip roaring saw running in the far east from our place.

Actually, yes!!
Ran a tank through it in the log pile!!
Right after I loaded some special milling fodder on Dave Boyt's trailer...

Not bad this time of year...
At it's worst early spring before sprouting leaves...

Cool...
There's going to be a GTG here near Carthage Nov 1
Just keep checking up on this thread..

That trailer reminds me of the small Toyota pickup I was behind at a stop light the other day. No bed, just a large log straped to the truck's frame. There for traction I surmise.

Got a Charity Cut coming up on October 4th, if you're interested.

 

[Hinerman]

Hey everybody, I'm scheduling the next Charity Cut for October 4th and it will be at the same place as the last one. Only a lot cooler in temperature. If anybody wants to come, that was not at the last one, let me know and I will PM directions.
Thanks for all the help you guys give.

Is there going to be more wood or just what we left on the ground? There wasn't a whole lot left IIRC. My memory may be failing me though.

 

[Hedgerow]

We left quite a bit in the piles north of where you were. Need something to drag those logs out to the open..
I need an excavator with the thumb attachment!!

I think I got so hot I couldn't see that far,,,,especially without my prescription glasses. Blind person + safety glasses covered in sweat and sawdust + 100° heat = hallucination. I am going no matter what or how much. I remember leaving and being disappointed we didn't get it all knocked out, but cutting out early was a good call.

+ 1 on the excavator and a lot more equipment.

 

[Hedgerow]

Suppose Steve could get one donated to use from a rental place?

II still want either a track-steer with a grapple bucket (and a few other attachments) or a decent sized excavator with a thumb. Either would be a God-send for brush piles (especially thorny locust) but the skid-steer (or 35-75hp tractor) would also be handy to load logs on the trailer. I think either a skid-steer or a Mahindra. If I'm giong to buy an Indian tractor, I'd rather do it without the pretense of highly expensive Green paint...

 

[Hedgerow]

I dig those thumbs..
