I agree with openloop I think "A" is what we call around here pin cherry or fire cherry. I have seen the sap from silver maples turn purple.

Thanks for the responses. I haven't seen one, but in catalogs the Power Gear design that Fiskars has looks good.

I see Bailey’s sells Corona brand, is anyone using these? I need a heavy duty lopper, I use mine to cut roots when digging ditches and for pruning fruit trees. The ones I have are old and I’m afraid the wooden handles are gonna give out. Appreciate any suggestions.

Spiral Acacia: As a rule of thumb, I think it's easier to use the log button on your calculator, like greengoblin suggests.

Hogbear: Rep sent Be careful

Gotta know.... Did he call you the next year?

Rep sent! Nice to hear one that ends well!

Fail I guess I didn't have my tongue far enough into my cheek. :monkey: My failed attempt to express disgust with people calling different design features "flaws" because they don't like them or understand them. (I think Gary "got it") ;) Hey - they're all good, buy and use the one...

I own one each of every brand of saw currently manufactured. The manual for one of these saws says “With the choke all the way out, pull cord 2-4 times, and then with choke ½ way out, pull to start”. Is this a design flaw? Why don’t they all make their saws so they start on one pull of...

jewelweed You've probably seen it. It grows in damp areas, and often in the same areas as poison ivy. Light green plant with hollow stalks full of juice, sometimes purple at the nodes where the leaves attach to the stalk.

jewelweed Unc: Find some jewelweed (AKA as Touch-me-Not), crush it and rub the juice on.

nice looking wood

Nice saw, Rope!

Milled with my Ripsaw band mill, powered by 044 Stihl, from apple trees which had fallen over in an old orchard I am working in. (I posted last fall about reclaiming an orchard). I have been using the Oregon sharpener (it’s like a dremel with stones) on the bandsaw blade with good results...

Thanks, NEP. Repped ya

Wasn’t sure if I should post this here or in the sawmill forum. I ordered a blade sharpener for my Ripsaw bandsaw mill, and it turned out to be a 12 volt chainsaw sharpener. I haven’t tried it yet on the bandsaw blades. The Ripsaw manual says to put the stone into each gullet at 90° to the...

My chain is reaching end of life from sharpening. I’m not a pro, I use the saw for felling and limbing small to medium sized trees, clearing windfalls, and harvesting wood to build rustic furniture, mostly hardwood. The bar is marked 18” - .325” - .050”. Should I order chain from...

oak Nice score on the firewood, those would have been just the right size for my Ripsaw!
