I've never paid much attention to how much I cut per day, but I do know it takes me a lot longer to get to and from the trees than it used to. In fact, When I first started cutting in the Sahara Forest it took me minutes to get there, and now it takes hours. Just glad no one else cuts there!
Looks like a tell-tale, snail-trail, from withdrawing their boring-tool. Probably happened right at beer thirty on a Friday afternoon. With the spiral, it probably won't hurt compression.
