Morning folks. 51 degrees and partly cloudy in mid-mo this morning @ 0730. Looks to be another beautiful day. Guess I need to figure out a project for the day.

Morning all.

Jim is doing fine. He's been out cutting while it's warm. I stopped by Friday morning.

I'll tell him to call you.

Had to get yet another bar/chain to feed the farm boss binge.

Morning all. Looks to be another great day. I am going to take advantage of it and try to get my garage organized so I can get to my workbench to work on some saws. I have about 25 pro style range hoods in my garage I have been working on selling. I have sold a few so now I think I can make a path to the workbench. I have a few Stihl parts saws to put on eBay and a Jonsered 510sp for Craigslist. So I will be busy.

Have you gotten the wood that was dumped just back in the woods area from the last charity cut? Some of it needed split I think, don't remember how much was left.

Yep, Ed went back a couple of days later and got all of it. It's been split and delivered.

Do you try to find hardwoods in particular for your charity cuts? I've run across properties with a lot of wood down but oftentimes it's a heavy mixture of cottonwood and such. I'd like to get involved in the charity cut thing, even if only local. I definitely want to make one of you bigger charity cuts to meet you guys in MO.

This is my 5th year doing this sort of thing and thinking back, the vast majority has been hardwoods. But we have taken whatever has been given to us. Some good, some not so good. The majority of the trees in this area tend to be hardwood varieties. I suppose it depends on what part of the country you live in is what will determine the type of firewood will be burned.
During the mid to late 1800's, river boats burned mostly cotton wood. Probably because that's what dominated the area of travel. In the same time period, in the Ozarks, the type of species makeup was different than it is now. There was a lot more Pine than hardwoods. During the late 19th century this area was almost turned into a wasteland due to over cutting and the current Oak/Hickory Forrest is what took over.
The majority of what we cut is from TSI's and saw logs to be made into lumber or railroad ties so it will be hardwood varieties.

I should have one carcass but I have not uncovered it yet I don't think it is usable for anything but spare parts.. I think I have an 029 coming but not sure when. I will let you know if I get it.

The top plastic/rear handle and the chassis (tanks) are what I ran out of on the pile actually. Have most everything else on hand, even a couple engines for the 029, 290, 310 crowd.

Heh. They are the little green Walmart Poulan of the Stihl world. LOL

 

[Hedgerow]

Stihl's #1 selling series of all time was that 1127 series of saws..
029. 039. 310, and so on..

 

[Homelite410]

Most marketed................. They are the best!

I won a 5100s parts saw on eBay tonight. Hopefully it has most of what James needs for his saw.
