Thats what it looks like here too.

Still swamp logging

Well the last load didn’t pay too well, no better than firewood really. With the bark falling off and some bug boaring deep into the logs, they’re not prime saw logs. So I guess that is it for the Ash lumber here.

Looks like there is some iron in that stem. Hope you don't hit any.

Well the chain didnt get damaged at all so it must have been very corroded. I did see some old nails sticking out of it 5 feet up so I decided it would be as good to cut it low than high.

Too bad your woodlot is gone to hell. Time to replant and wait for the next round I guess!

I was judging by the stains. I didn't mean to infer that there was metal at your cut. Hope you don't hit any if you plan to cut it further. Ron

just the ash, sugar maple has a canker, beech has a blight, soft maple, cherry, spruce, pine and cedar all good.
polar as they age are rotting up the middle. So I’m set for firewood for life.

Judging by where the nails are in relation to the centre of the tree I would say they are rotten as fcuk. It's a 50 y/o tree and a very wet softwood species at that So if the nails were in there for 40 years I would say they are pretty dead by now. Hopefully. There are some newer ones in it further up though.

I wish I was cutting big conifers like that all day.

Good grief, this place is deader than a mackerel. Guilt tripped me into logging on for the first time in forever.





Snow Monday morning, 90* today.

Been making the most of the weekends.

IJ, log in more often. That is some beautiful country your working. Ron

New unit. Bottom is pretty crispy.




The top is pretty decent 3 log timber.



Nice to park right by the office.

Kind of coastal sort of day for Montana.
Other than the size of the timber.

Just a long term trespasser here that is not qualified to post pictures but couldn't resist as I thought of some of the crooked tree posts of @woodfarmer when I came upon this dead ash while mowing today. Slightly over bar length at the felling cut. Did a bore cut, something I usually don't do and am not very good at doing. It fell where aimed and just barely rubbed the little maple I want to save - no damage to it so all was good. I didn't realize the sun had ruined most of my pictures until I downloaded them.




82* here today with just enough break in the rain to mow.
