Wet-wood

[chainsawjunky]

This might be a stupid question but I was wondering if I can cut wood that has just been rained on? Evan

 

[Ductape]

Sure..... why not?

 

[chainsawjunky]

Thanks, didn't know if it'd dull the chain faster or not. Evan

water is pretty abrasive.

 

[trimmmed]

Yeah, I wouldn't chance it.

Step away from the Wildthing and put your hands in the air.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

This time of year, the wood is a lot more "wet" inside the bark than it would ever get from rain anyway. Especially the Maple varities.

Ever look at rocks at the river or fall when water skiing.
Water can be very abrasive and damn hard when you hit it

Husky137, I'm sorry big boy if this hurt your feelings

 

[Tzed250]

It will be fine. I have removed trees in creeks before, chain submerged. Mind the "slipperiness" of the wood!

OUCH! Hey...does this mean I don't have to cut in the rain anymore?

No I don't own a wildthing and if I ever do you can unload both barrels. Borrowing a friends MS290 till I get my 044 rebuilt. Evan

I usually build a fire under wet logs to dry them out before cutting.



TT, if it makes you feel better, I negged myself.

Would you use dino or synthetic mix for that fire? Just wondered which would help the bar and chain?:greenchainsaw:

 

[RaisedByWolves]

Depends on how wet the wood is.



For damp to moderatly wet wood, regular dino will suffice. But for those Problem logs, The really wet ones I use strictly synthetic!

I would say that you even blow on the fire to get it going good!

This was key info!

All my friends saws will work fully submerged and do stump grinding too...Mine, for some reason, do not!
