That's a very cool thing to do with that special wood. Can't be easy carving(?) end grain of white oak that way though.. Did you ever finish this? I do hand carving (Axe, Adze, drawknife etc) of green wood, making wood bowls of various traditional styles, scoops, spoons etc. Trees with history...

That's quite the concise diagnostic. And I even understood most of it. Thank you for taking the time. The short story; I got a little desperate when I needed to be splitting and cold weather is closing in on me here so I had played with the only adjustment I could find and things got worse. So...

Thanks. It is pulling oil, As soon as I started it and let it warm up the ram works, it splits wood but once it contacts the piece, it stops dead & takes a ridiculously long time to build pressure and start moving into & splitting the piece. I understand that most of them have some hesitation to...

I've been having similar thoughts this summer & fall. The entire northeast has been a rainforest. I've never seen the humidity like this in all my life. Especially this far into fall. The dew point is set to finally get into the mid 40's this weekend, if the predictions are accurate and this...

I've got a Troy-Bilt LS275 log splitter that's been causing me some grief for a bit. I just went over the whole Honda engine, cleaned and rebuilt the carb, adjusted the valve lash etc. Put the engine back on and changed the hydraulic fluid & filter. The engine is now working perfect again...

There is a throttle lock button that holds the throttle partially open for starting and should kick off when you first pull the throttle. Like kicking down the idle on an old carbureted car after it warms up enough. Most of my Homelites have this. It will release if I manually pull the throttle...

Appreciate the info. Never have understood why people pull the starter out while shutting down. Never been in that habit. "yank" was just an effort to not get overly descriptive. I feel like the fit between the pinion and the gear on the starter pulley is a bit tight and that it just didn't...

I picked up a Pioneer 1074 today. My second Pioneer now, along with my 650 that is going through a full restoration. The seller said it runs but is a bear to start. I got it home, engaged the fast idle, pulled the choke, yanked the cord and it sprang to life immediately. Only two problems, so...

8K Square feet... I guess that'll do it. I didn't think till afterwards also, depends highly on what woods you've got available to burn too. Guys that are predominantly in softwood territory are going to burn a lot more to get the same heat as people that have access to good hardwoods. If there...

Government is getting so they think we need their permission to take a piss in the morning.

I hear ya on not wanting to play with tarps all the time to keep the firewood covered. Best thing I ever did was building sheds for the firewood. But my my eyes nearly bugged out when you said it takes 20 cords a winter to heat your place. How many square feet are you heating? Is there any...

Hey Everyone. Need a bit of help. Anyone have a good understanding of the number coding on the Remington Roller Nose bars or can point me to documents for them? I'm trying to figure out which saws a certain bar might fit but would also like to have a reference for the future with other bars I...

This is the tag on the saw. As usual, it apparently needs a secret decoder ring to make heads or tails of it. I assume some of these numbers are the year it was built. Does anything tell me which carb would be in it. Work keeps making me push this off but my feet are to the fire, actually the...

Doesn't seam like the tank vent is an issue as it does run with the band-aid on the carb diaphragm but I poured over several youtube videos on the saw and could clearly see the whole handle/tank section, which didn't look like any vent was in it and no one doing rebuilds made any mention of a...

Been chasing a problem with my Husky 350 for a while now and it finally came to the point where it refuses to work. I've read most of the old posts here and looked through all the usual suspects with no resolution. I would start and run for about five seconds and stall, wouldn't restart without...

"Ironwood" is used to describe several different tree's. Steve is right, what he has is Eastern Hophornbeam. The Ironwood your thinking about with smooth, muscley bark is American Hornbeam.

+2 - That's White Ash Olddirty - The very first picture you posted I'm 99% certain that is Black Oak. As someone else mentioned the bark is not consistent with Red Oak. The wood looks similar but the bark is very distinct.

Wood wanted in Lake Shawnee (Morris County) NJ New Jersey I'm located in North New Jersey, Jefferson Twp. (mailing/google maps address is 6 Highview Terrace Wharton NJ) It's on Lake Shawnee, Just South of Sparta. Just several easy blocks off of Route 15. Yellow house on the hill. Can drop...

The one I have has a pair of diagonal reinforcements attached at the outsides of the head going up to the handle socket. Been using it for six years, 12 -14' logs, no problems. First time I saw the one from Northern, I won't buy anything from harbor freight, I thought... its going to bend like a...
