Whos up for a GTG 25mi North of Louisville KY?

[Andyshine77]

Here's the load, some very green cottonwood and some basswood. Not all of it is going to the GTG, some will stay here for me to practice on

How many cants do ya'll think we'll need? What sizes 8x8's and 10x10's??

Hi Frank.

I'd say make most of them 10x10's basswood is really soft. If you can, some 12x12's would be awesome.

Why make them into cants? What is wrong with raw logs? C'mon folks, make it real here.
oke:

If it's smaller than a 20" bar, what's the point?:greenchainsaw:

Are you sure you wouldn't rather run this one?

I don't have to run it, but would at least like to hold it (if my wife isn't looking).

Why of course you can run it. I'll have a packed ful truck of saws you can run.

sort of look like this ?

Becasue it's more consistent for timed cuts when "racing" Plus the dirt in the bark will dull our chains.

C'mon folks, make it real here.oke:

If we wanted real, we would go to the woods and waste all weekend cutting, splitting and stacking 3 to 5 cords of wood by ourselves and NOT getting to enjoy the company of the many friends we have made on AS...Where is the fun in that?......

I agree! I deal with "real" all the time. Real sweat, Real back ache, Real mosquitos, Real poisen ivy, etc....One of these GTG's sound to me, like a whole lot of REAL FUN!


Gregg,

IMO these GTG'er are more about people than saws.

Yes saws are our passion, but we would still have a good time even if no one brought a single saw. We maybe standing around, scratching our heads, talking about whose stupid idea it was to not bring any saws, but we still have a good time.

It's really nice to meet the people and put screen names to faces.

If you make the trip. I'm sure we could find you a real log.

If I not in the Field would like to come down.I got caught in
the fields last spring with the weather so maybe we might get
to come for a bit. Could I get directions in case the weather
works in my favor.

Thanks

Well Andy it looks like we are going to have only 1 10x10 cant and the rest are going to be 8x8's. The 10x10 is the basswood, and the 8x8 will be cottonwood. I dragged my feet to long to get back over where we were cutting, most of the good stuff is gone. There was a lot of wood there too. Oh well, at least I got the good oaks and hickories out first)

Heres some pics of the cants I've done so far:

and the lies that are told


from Ericjeepers GTG last winter.

and the good will that was done, three good loads of wood for the widow lady down the road

I know where a 5 foot plus Maple is at and I'm going to try to get it the week end after this one. Getting this log maybe just a dream. Since loading it will be almost impossible. But I do have and idea.
This log is in Indy. Anyone around there wants to help me. It would be extremely appreciated.

where in Indy?

 

[Banshee]

where in Indy?

West side. I'm hoping to get it this Sunday maybe. With me working 6 days a week and this rain it's going to be up to the last minute to get a big log.

 

[dsm382]

send me a PM, i should be out and about with my truck and trailer hauling some firewood to the house.

after church of course

when you say west side? give me a town might be able to give you a hand.

have a buddy with a 50hp FEL but not sure if he has a trailer to haul it yet.
