    Felling notches

    "Still can't picture a bore cut yet" perhaps because the term "bore cut" can have 2 applications. one is parallel to the hinge and is used to decrease barber chair, the other is perpendicular and is used to cut the heart out (in the middle of the face) to prevent fiber pulling. mills...

    Is this a good price?

    thats a good fair price if he is a good sawyer. and yes you can use it immediately. if it is allowed to dry for a year you wil have to drill holes for the nails!!!!! also, if its white oak it wil last much longer than red.

    ms250 wont accelerate properly

    the L adjustment has effect on the idle. the spread is wider than most like 3/4 to 2 turns out is the idle range. idles great but wont accelerate. just bogs and dies unless i use bout half the choke while accelerating then turn choke off when it gets to hi rpm.
