Puttin the Husky out with the trash aeAll us easterners are trying to learn to square file and some of ya'll round file out there. Sometimes we even put longer bars on saws too and have full wraps. Here's the Burvol saw.
Bit saws with little bars?

No wrap handle because the dealer didn't sell/order them.

The garage had a burnt out light bulb when I tried to take a picture it turned out red tinted so I walked outside and took them right quick. The can is where the stihls go.

I was organizing my chains the other day, separating them by bar length. All of my chains are 16" or 20" no need for anything longer around these parts, plus we know how to cut from both sides of the log.
even with short bars most cutting can be done from one side until you start getting in the 4 foot range and you can't physically reach for over bucking.
The last cutting I did was 2 blowdown sassafras. One was righth at 30"x26" and the other was 30"x 37" or so. The way it was laying a 28" was too short to get all the way through the big one. I needed a 32" that day and it was at home. I don't like having to go to both sides on something 30" plus a couple feet in the air and under tension from the weight of a heavy crown.

East Coast logger set up MS880 21" .404 chain 8 tooth sprocket
In reality most local guys run 20" bars on 441's and 460's and 24" bars on 660's. Most commercial cutters are cutting Walnut for cabinets, or hardwood for firewood. and no one has ever seen full wrap handles
Yup, looks about right to me.

Common in this part of the world to see an 084, 088, 880 or 3120 with a 16-20" bar.

Will has Bloodwood on the You-tube description, a type of Eucalypt.
I'm guessing Red, looking at the colour although there are 58 species and sub species of Red Bloodwoods

Yea that was pretty cool. We made them out of locust when I was young. I used to hate doing that. Last I remember making, I was around 14 years old.
Sometimes we would have to split a log four ways but never any poles that big. The Locust was also used for tier poles for hanging baccer. That wood can last for many years without rotting. I would guess it will outlast most of todays treated post.
We buy treated post now.
I would have to think at least a few of the post I have handled have been cut by one of our PNW friends. I think they're mostly treated pine.
