since the year isn't quite over I got one of the guys to snap off a couple shots today, only to find when I got home that he'd put a big fingerprint over the lense on the phone and has no sense of composition whatsoever :-(

Pretty big white pine that I can't seem to upload.

 

[TimberMcPherson]

Nice. What size grinder will you use for that stump?

We have an all access, any size stump for 200$ system we use. We take the money and stick a post it note on the tree saying "wait 300 years"

works first time or your money back

Reg,

Is the bark removed to look for nails or just to keep the saw chain sharp from dirt,sand , etc?

The bark at the bottom of those Douglas fir can be several inches thick at times, Mike. For accuracy, it definitely pays to be able to be able to see where the bark finishes and the wood starts.



Pic of the same log there. Tall guy is Jared the faller, Nate to his left.

Second pic is at the end of another big tree around the corner. From left to right thats Scott, me, Jared and Nate.

Got it!
I've taken an axe and shaved the bark off on construction sites where equipment got dirt on the trunk.

 

[rtsims]

I hear ya Reg. We often shave the bark off just for bar length purposes. Its a dusty, splintery process, but well worth it.

Reg- After you drop that fairly large log, you then split it? That is hardcore.

That was a different log where we're sat down. The HO hired a splitter.....we just had to buck it. Still an 8:30 finish for us. Without question the most underbid job Ive seen this year. One of those 'favors', you know....that seemingly never get returned.
