The Official "Noodles" Pic and Vid Thread

[pioneerguy600]

To day was a beautiful day to do some noodling, these pieces were set aside due to them having twisty grain and burls that would make them unsuitable for regular splitting. Tried out 3 saws I just recently got up and running properly.
Just getting started.

The cutting crew back into the truck,

Which saw do you think noodles the best?

What are those funny things ya'all wear on yer heads when cutting wood? I wear my old floppy camo hat. It's great for swatting the bees and stuff that come out of the wood once in a while.

Thanks Gypo, think the bars and chains last a little longer when bar oil is used, some don`t believe in it but I do.

Lol. I once new a guy who wouldn't use bar lube, he was way better with a hand held circle saw though.
Pioneer guy, is there enough trees out there to keep those saws satiated? I thought you guys raped and pilaged a long time ago.

Cool pic John, If you took the saw out of your hands it would look like a shot from Dance Fever,lol Almost looks like the back end of a golf course behind ya.

Stupid question from the uneducated guy. Is there a trick to get a saw to throw long shavings like that? Ive cut with the grain before and still just get chips.

If you cut long ways on the cut log you should be throwin longer noodles unless your chain is filed at wrong angles or it is really dull.

You will only get fine dust like that, Lay it on it's side and discover what fun can be.

The 372 is a fine noodle saw, With a sharp chain, you can almost noodle a log as fast as you can split it with a maul. On large rounds i can noodle em faster with less effort and a whole lot more fun.

You know it is strange how these trees keep growing back, a lot of this Province has been over harvested or clearcut but there is still some trees left here and there. I have a few acres of treed land that has never been clear cut or more than select cut over the years, my great uncle was the last guy to cut a tree on it back in 1945-47, the remaining trees are getting to a goodly size now. I just cruised a 5000 acre lot that has also never been cut, some nice stuff there also.

Those are the kinda bushes to find. I made a good living buying timber just 60 miles north of Toronto on the escarpment. It was growing faster than I could cut it down, but it was also falling down dead faster than I could cut it. I'm sure N.S. is better off than the Toronto suberbs, but the stuff is growing as we are speaking.
