Yeah not wrong. It's nearly cheaper and easier to buy a brand new one. Probably not as well made but at least it's not burnt out.
Ones I have found have all been too big or there rooted

Yeah Neil, ive seen them on ebay new for about $1500, not sure if they're Chinese but I'd assume they are.There was a good one of ebay, $4500, that's a lot for something made maybe in the 60's.
Do the Chinese copy them, they seem to copy everything else except a PM 610 mac. (they are obviously not that silly).

I don't mind cutting the bigger parts up so much, it's cutting up and trying to hide the smaller bits up the head end I don't like [emoji2]missed that fence again nice sweet work,,, gittin em over n down is the fun bit, slicing em up and humping it all away the chore i dislike.
Hate it when there's enough solid wood that can't really hear the rot when hitting the tree with the axe, then things get spongy on the face cut. That usually happens on the ones I know I need to wedge over and I start freak'n about how much rot there'll be in the (not so) holding wood when doing the back cut.The solid but ends will used for horse jumps and someone wonts to mill some the rest is pilled up into bonfires.
Kinda underated lumber over here. I like it from the real old pines. It's pretty durable.The solid but ends will used for horse jumps and someone wonts to mill some the rest is pilled up into bonfires.
I have a Rayburn No. 2 in my house, it's awesome. Going to sandblast and repaint it one day, it's currently dark blue.Also my Dolkita HD filter kit arrived from the US. Now I just need to buy the saw....

Or worse, when trying to swing'em and they don't reveal their rot until the worst possible time when you are totally committed to that way and have SFA other options left. Had a big mac like that next to a house I had to swing to miss the nearby river and avoid the house. Backcut positively loaded with rot but face stopped 1" from it. With mac I should have known better than to assume it was solid as they often have rot. Definitely not something I want to repeat in a hurry. Always when the homeowner is watching, never when they are not.
