Spotted Owls are my specialty, although I never intended it to be. I did forestry work to make money and got a degree in Wildlife Management and have worked in the timber industry every year since. There are ways to get a two year permit [also known as a USFWS Technical Assistance Letter] but...

Several at work now use nothing else. One day in the woods and they were hooked. P.S. I have found one issue and that is with maple. It shoots the pieces out violently sometimes. I got one piece in the leg recently.

I have worked on NTMPs and Commercial Thinnings too. The link to the management idea is for pre-commercial stands around 10-25 years of age. We worked with the "Blue-Ribbon" Panel that first published reports on this for the Headwaters and later it was used by Mill Creek on Redwood Natl and...

One thing to note about burning vs not burning is that in some locations your sprouts will take from the top section of the stump and may be prone to windthrow as they grow and the stump slowly rots. The burnt stump sprouts from the ground level and the roots and is not prown to this problem...

I use it here. We call it pepperwood, myrtle, bay, etc. The stuff splits like hell. Cross grain structure to the wood holds tight. Has a peppery odor when split and burning, but it burns long and hot when properly dried. Give it two years outdoor. The first year it typically have a fair...

I am still hacking away with the Fiskars at about 30 cord under its belt so far. No complaints. I do need to say the handle is a tad short for me, but I am 6'8" tall also. I got past that in the first week of using it. It breaks down large rounds quickly.

I hate the woodsplitters. I do all splitting by hand.

I saw what looked like a 5-ton Chevy flatbed with a self-loading arm mounted near the cab. It was a flatbed with forks added. Looks like it could only handle a 12-foot log. I also recently saw one of the trailers sold by Bailey's since they are just a little ways done the road in Laytonville...

My Dad [64] and myself [36] split all of ours by hand also.

That is actually a nice calculator to have. Thanks!

I like that stack. I could use it in the field. We have to stack irregular so it is tough for resistent against cattle attacks!

I use them both and love both of my saws. I also have a couple of Homelites and might purchase a Dolmar 7900 soon. If you purchase the right saw for your application there should be no 'real' difference. It is when you try to apply a saw not intended for your use that problems occur. On hte...

This saw was stolen from my workcrew at our office. I was purchase in Eureka, California in January of 2004 with a 28 inch bar. Serial number is 160987795

This is what I have gotten so far this year.

I have the Super Slpitter, but it is more than 4 pounds. It is 2300 grams which is 5 pounds. This thing splits better than any maul I have ever used and doubles as an axe in the woods. I cut all of my wood in the mountains and haul it down so space is an issue and this is perfect, even on...

we are spoiled with what is rated as some o0f the best woods in America for firewood. Lots of heat, little ash in the stove. I choose Pacific madrone if I have to split it, but I will take live oak if someone else wants to split it for me! LOL

It does not determine if you are a pro or not, but it does determine if you are a pro in certain areas. A 20" would get you fired here!
