I've been building these for 10+ years now, i have about 100 made up. They are 4x4, the sides are 4 ft tall. They hold an honest 1/2 cord. I stack the wood into them, right off the front of the splitter. Never touch the wood again. I sold 40 cord last fall, shooting for 50 this year. I have...

I had 4 of these from the same tree, crane op. said they were 6000 lb each.

I'm working on this good size dead elm we dropped last winter, about 3 ft dbh. Found some wire, a few #40 spikes, and then this comes out - Going to run the 30" dia log in the next pic through the mill, but really having second thoughts now, so much iron in here. The shoe was about 6 or 7 ft...

One of my cousins calls, he's looking for some big posts to hold up a pergola, how big? well, 15 by 15 and 12 ft tall he says. All the same species. I had a Tulip log big enough, another board member here - treeman82 - is taking down a big one soon, so the logs come here. The first one on the...

I finished this order yesterday, 480 mostly pine, some spruce 2x6's. Some 7 footers, mostly 8's though. A few dozen 12's & 14's too. Barn floor I believe. Somedays I'd do 50, some 20. One nice pine log had 31 of them in it. The average was about 20 though. They have to go through the planer...

These logs came last fall, the first one I grabbed is a 9 footer, about 30 inch dia. My coffee cups in the first pic for a little scale. Some of the bark came off nice, the part on the ground is still froze solid ice. The first cut gave off that 'zing' sound we all know, crap. It...

On our family farm, this building was called the "bull pen", cause thats where he lived. Big, nasty old Holstien bull. About 15 years ago the roof & sills were shot & I tore it down. Finally got back on track. The two 8x8 posts are locust, they'll sit on layed up cement blocks that go down 40"...

FARMINGTON, Conn. -- Police in Farmington said a man who was performing some tree work in his yard on Collinsville Road died after falling from a ladder on Thursday. The 59-year-old man suffered a severe head injury. A request was made to transport the victim by medical helicopter but it...

A guy comes yesterday with this plank "can you split it in half" ? Wow, it's 4 inches thick 29 inches wide & 8 ft. long. The first pic shows it laying on the bed of my mill, there's a 20 ft tape on it for scale - It just fit between the guides, I coulda' used some oil on it, it was that...

There's about 20 logs in this pile, some over 2 ft. from a tree job not far from here in early June. Didn't take long, I spotted the tell-tale holes in the bark from the sawyer beetles. They peeled pretty easy with this old chisel I put a long handle on. It's not a fun job, but better than...

I picked Sat. AM for this job, 2 reasons - The train doesn't run, and my wife could come along [just in case...] My first pic is kind of crappy, the dark looking tree on the left is about a 20" cherry that twisted off 15 ft up last summer & hung in a locust [the lighter colored one on the...

Red cedar, can't beat it - And the damp, humid, clammy, crappy weather we've been having makes it even better. The face on this log is a little over 20 inches, I needed some 8x8'x for an order. Got one here for sure, darn little sapwood too.

The recoil spring on my 041 let go yesterday, I think it's the original '72 one that came in it. The # in my book 1111 195 1600 isn't close to anything I can find at my favorite parts place [ebay] Does anyone know if that number is good, or have a spring to get this old saw up & running ...

I wasn't trying to be quiet or anything, 2 trees dropped, a 50 ft log skidded out. Back in for another hitch, this little whitetail comes out of the bushes, checking out my work. I took the camera, got off the tractor, and started slowly going towards it. Looks like last years fawn, got...

My first day back in the woods since the big challenge oak last fall. There's over 60 locust trees marked here, most around 18", some 24". Last fall, in the first half of this job, I did all the dropping & skidding, then went back & hauled 33 loads on my F 350. I had this idea over the winter I...
