Thanks Andy, this will be 25 years now that I have been working in the woods and I still can't get enough! Especially nice size trees like this Cherry. I bought thirty of them and hope to get more in the area.

Hi Andy, just the crown went for firewood. The trunk yielded three 10' veneer logs and one 8' sawlog.
Hi Thall10326, ya I remember that one well. The cowardly lion from Wizard of Oz sung that one. lol

Hi Gypo. I was just wondering how much is Cherry going for a 1000 sq ft.What grade are you getting?I helped a man in NY and the cherry was going over seas, Ken

what a nice little cherry tree you got...

But i have to wonder, dont they sell safety pants, boots and helmets in america or is there some other reason why i see people cutting huge trees in JEANS...

I can attest to that, but I can understand that the interest in posting here may go a bit up and down trough the years....

I sure hope that you stay for a while this time, Gypo!

Good question blis. To answer it honestly I would have to say it has more to do with the statis quo than common sense.
Since I work for myself and alone as well there is no pressure, plus I don't have to answer to anyones standards but my own.
There's nothing wrong with wearing proper safety gear, which I did for many years. If I had to set an example for employees I would defineately wear safety gear. It's right up there with the helmet and seatbelt legislation, however, I always wear my seatbelt. Go figure...
The ones using safety gear should keep on doing so, and the ones that don't, mabe should. As winter encroaches, I do wear chaps because the keep you warm as well.

Hi woodfarmer the average dbh is about 24". With cherry, bigger isn't always better. The older anything is the more likely it has weathered many a storm with the result that the grade can take a drop.

Sawtroll, I haven't layed eyes on a 390 yet, but I guess I eventually will.
I'll ask about it at my Husky dealer.
