Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Haywire]

Well no firewood cutting today, too tired after cutting trees for a logger yesterdayView attachment 854667View attachment 854668View attachment 854670amazing how much faster green tree are to cut, thought man this saw is really cutting good today, lol. Easier to make big chips too View attachment 854671Sure was enjoyable, much better than dealing with traffic. Kind of discouraging how tired I was though, he offered me a full time job but the way I feel today I’m not so sure, has been 20 years sense I’ve done that full time though, lol.

Big rings on that Ponderosa!
Be sure to take care of that 572 for me

Doesn't look like any ponderosa I’ve seen.

Light rain this morning that wasn’t predicted. I’m about to whip up some breakfast and go get after it. Might try that dead spruce first for my fire pit as it should be nice and dry. Then keep working on the blowdown aspen.

I'm willing to bet, you aint seen them all.

I think it's pin oak. That is a nice 572xp @Logger nate has. Nice cut also,

As I've been cleaning off my drive of all the Hedge I recently got, I'd look over at my trailer of Cherry that I got stiffed on and think that unloading and restacking was one more thing on my list. Well this morning at 2:00A I get an non-descript email wanting to know if I still had the Cherry. So the emails that followed seemed like another scam. Long story short, I sold the load this morning. So no extra work. $$ for repairs.

Some of you have shown your saw racks and I was wondering if it's ok to store a chainsaw in the vertical position, hanging it from the handle.
I'm redoing a section of my garage and was wanting to get the saws off the floor. Mind you, I don't have near as many as you.

I was wondering if it's ok to store a chainsaw in the vertical position, hanging it from the handle.

Yes fine. I do it. Put 2 screws in the wall 4" apart and leave one sticking out 1/4". Take some string and tie a piece to the driven in one, and a loop on the end about 8" away. Thread the string through saw handle, loop going over sticking out screw, saw hangs down the wall. There is one draw back. Any oil slowly siphons out and fills the scabbard. Other than that it's fine.

For long term storage that’s fine but drain the fluids

Sun is out now and I’m sweating but the pickup is almost full. Then I think I’ll work up one blowdown birch and call it a day.

 

[svk]

Another good load, probably pushing 3/4 cord of blowdown aspen.

Nice saws, and load of wood.

I NEVER leave fuel in a saw, and it drains the oil itself! I use mineral or synth oil though so it doesn't harden.

Thanks. That’s the A-team (plus the 394 when needed). Didn’t feel like wrenching on fixer uppers today, just wanted to make wood.

I’ve only got 2-3 more cords to make this year and I’m calling it quits. I’m going to enjoy some hunting for once.

The Johnvarna got her done again today. Helping a buddy clear land to build a house. Got some maple, black locust and cherry.

I think that's highly valuable black walnut you have there. Nice load either way.

Yea, I was going to say the same with the Black Walnut … we got tons of it around here! Numerous trees on my property, next door and across the street.

The Red Squirrels love the nuts.

Our local Fire seems to be getting under control. Only a little growth, and containment lines are being constructed.

This is off of one of the three main ways into our mountain place, the fire stopped two miles short of our place. I’m told only five houses in that area survived.

Well darnit. My neighbor a few houses down promised me some trees. Come to find out he listed his house and got a full price offer ten days later. His realtor told him not to cut any trees, even dead ones. Not a huge deal as I’ve got plenty of other wood to cut but I was looking forward to easy, close to home cutting and help loading.

Sucks more to be losing a good guy on the road.

And he had some snowmobiles he wanted to sell but threw them in with the real estate deal.
