i'm going to go back into rudedog's 440 for a little more transfer work. it's not quite right

Very Nice!!!!:msp_thumbsup::blob2:
 
Brad it could be any number of trees in our area. The bark looks like white or Blue Ash, maybe White Oak, I've even seen some Elm look similar, it's hard to tell without the leaves or seeing and smelling it in person..:smile2: I still haven't found much harder than Hickory around here, but Locust, Osage orange come to mind..:cheers:

The bark does look like ash but he wood looks like American Elm to me.

Holy carp, I can't believe you are done with it already. Are you or anyone down that way coming up to boyds cutting this weekend.
 
i think a cookie off that hard wood log should bring some more donations

I was at the "Lumberjack Feud" dinner show in Pigeon Forge a few weeks back. They were selling cookies for $10 each !!!!

They ran piped 880's at one point. Guy said something about cylinders being bored, which I think means ported?? Stihl sponsors them, so they probably built those saws in house. I tried to get my hands on one after the show, but that was quickly denied. Most of the cutting was done with stock 290's. Troll would love it.
 
This might throw a monkey wrench in the other charity drive, but I hope not. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, this 460 isn't going to be done until Tuesday, hopefully. There's a big surprise in the works. That's the reason this one was already extended a week. We tried to get it done before now, but it just couldn't happen. I hope you guys understand. You will when we're done:biggrin: And yes, I'm baiting the hook and going to leave you guys hanging. Let's just say, you're not going to miss out on this saw:clap:

With that said, I'm extending the deadline until Friday evening at 9 PM Eastern time. Any mailed donations must be in my possession by that time.

Sorry about the delay, but it'll be worth it!

The surprise was supposed to be here today, but did not show up. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. I hate to keep you guys hanging. I promise, you will know as soon as possible! It will all make sense in the end.

The total is now at $4245:clap:
 
Way back in the beginning of this deal, our good friend Scooterbum offered to airbrush this saw for us. He wanted to keep it a secret until the reveal. So, here it is! Unfortunately, Steve's Mom has been in and out of the hospital, preventing Steve from actually getting to do the painting. One of his buddies sons, Jason, helped him out and did the painting instead. Steve and Jason, thank a bunch for your contribution! Your artwork looks great.
