Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

Here is a pic of the Chestnut Oak table that I built for my Daughter a couple of years ago and needed to be re done. Took the "bow" out of it, so now it is flat, and gave it a new "flood coat" (I hate working with epoxy!).

Put some Watco Teak Oil on the legs (which were previously unfinished).

The Chestnut Oak bench did not need any additional work. It just has a "seal coat" of epoxy, and I took the bow out of it some time ago.

Wide milled wood seems to like to "V" on the center after it is no longer stacked and stickered!

That 4' table is heavy, and I put it in the truck all by my lonesome!

OK, I know you guys like pics!

Here are some pics of Whaley Lake from our new bike trail. We start at Lake Tonetta, then go past Ice Pond (Knickerbocker Co used to ship ice to NYC by train), then the Great Swamp, then Whaley Lake.

Looks like it would be a bumpy ride on that bike trail. In Wisconsin we take out the tracks and rails when we make a bike trail!

Happy birthday cowboy! Hope you have a great day!

How are the trains supposed to make deliveries then? Lmfao.

The bike path is next to the rails. They left the rails in place as they may allow hand driven carts on it in the future.

Thanks Steve. Google fail. Don't tell me daughter

Take a close up of the bark and nuts next time you are there.

Made a little progress on filling wood shed last weekend and today. Archery opens next week, usually done by now. Splitting some stuff that’s been in the pile for awhile, evidently hadn’t ran a saw for awhile and was trying to stop the withdrawals, lol

Archery opens next week

Our archery opened last weekend, two friends of the store six miles from my mountain place got a deer that weekend. Our roads went from no one around to hunters everywhere. Even our lonely road that usually has 0-3 vehicles go by each day, had about ten last Saturday.

Scrounged up a little more than 1 load of 8 year old seasoned wood that was stored inside the neighbors barn. It was a surprise scrounge so I didn't have my camera until most of it was stacked.
I originally went there to get the concrete blocks she had offered a while ago - need 8 for the big project and she had 10. That's what my inner scrounger calls perfect.

She also offered up 6 large and 4 extra large patio blocks which I'm sure I can make use of. At least a couple will have a home on the big project.
And while I had the green wheelbarrow out I moved more to the stacks.

And some for the to be split pile.

About 6 or 7 logs left to be bucked from the big pine scrounge.

Today's scrounge. Not sure what it is but it'll burn!

and made myself a hookaroon to help unload.

Thanks fellas. Had a great day yesterday, sun was out, got some new (non-scrounge related) toys. Went fishing with the family but the trout weren't cooperating. Also received this...



I was reading a few passages to Cowgirl last night thinking it would get her in the mood for love but no good. Maybe she is ill or something.

It's a good read. She's not right.

I've been pleasantly surprised with Carlton chain from Bailey's. It's their Woodland Pro line. They have a pretty nice chain selector on their website. It's nice practicing filing on a $15 chain instead of a $30 Stihl chain. I also like the Oregon Powercut chain.

I found a deal on Stihl 20" loops (72DL) but there's no mention of what tooth it has. The box doesn't have a label on it. And when I inspect the chain (photo), I don't see the word "Stihl" stamped on the DL as usual. Maybe the guy bought a spool of chain and made his own loops to sell, but would bulk chain still have the Stihl name stamped on it?

Every Stihl chain should have Stihl markings whether bulk or loops. Something smells fishy.

I’ve bought stuff online for cheap that said stihl in the ad but turned out to be rotary brand. Price was right and chain was decent but definitely deceptive advertising in my case.

Stihl chain will always be stamped with Stihl.

Morning guys.

We’ve received some much needed rain. Not a lot if measured but several soakings over the past three days to knock down the dust and reduce fire risk.

The big fire 60 miles away is holding even around 26,000 acres. I read 12 primary structures and 59 secondary structures were lost so far. I know the firefighters saved a number of buildings within the burn zone.

 

[Logger nate]

Anyone ever tried this chain?https://www.ebay.com/itm/293760998003
Thinking about getting some for my 550.

 

[sean donato]

Nope, but as $12 and change may be worth checking out.
