Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Today's victim. One of the hickory's that I left in length the 395xp cut it very quickly. Had to sharpen the chain every two cuts got 3 nice boards before it hit the soft area . But I'll get a few nice 1x6 out of the restView attachment 813713View attachment 813714View attachment 813715View attachment 813716

Looks good!

Was splitting some beech rounds today. Nice, green, healthy tree, but it needed to come out to open up the canopy. About 25ft. from the base, I started finding some lively white grubs. A couple of them were the size of a pencil and 2 inches long. Should have taken a couple pictures, but we were rockin' and roliin', and I didn't want to halt production. Never seen them before. I've heard about the bark fungus caused by an insect, are these the culprits?

I can tell you what they are - bait. Grab 'em and go fishing!

And that dirt that they are in is great for any garden, landscaping, or even potted plants, doesn't get much richer in organic material.

Things to apply to the next one. The one I'm playing with now is just a learning process. Good info in that post thank you.

The right cutter looks about right although it appears a bit longer than the left which is further back than I would start with.
Those Carlton chains will be a lot easier to trim the front of the raker back and thin since they angle back.
As I was saying I sure wish I had a better camera for pictures, maybe my next phone will have a nice one .

Been stocking up on chain. I still need 1-28" haven't checked size yet
1-24" old size 81dl I think
Then I should be good for a bit.


Got a pair of Starret A&B pin vices used off eBay. Nice quality stuff there!

Are you differentiating the subspecies red oak/white oak, hickories, etc?

Waiting for my son to finish his online class then we are on our way. Had a bunch of freezing rain this morning so my truck, snowmobile, and everything outside is covered in ice. Oh well, the shack will heat up quickly.

I'm amazed how well this thing cuts for as ugly as my square fileing looks. Had a lot of guys tell me that ugly doesn't mean underperforming. Still like to get to a point that I feel good about posting pictures of my cutters.
I'm dog bone the drivers, file the rivets down, and file the front of the rakers back and thin them. It will probably break the chain first time I put it in wood. But i have all the time i could need so why not learn something.

I won’t judge what your cutters look like. I would love to see pictures of them and learn from your experiences.

Every year I seem to get worse with my tolerance for heat. Today I think is the warmest day of the year or close to at least. 61° sunny and not a cloud in sight. Here I am wearing a sun hat and thinking about how I wish it was a bit cooler[emoji23][emoji23]

Mosquitoes also appeared yesterday and started biting as well

I know what freezing rain is from when I was stationed in Germany, most Californian’s wouldn’t know what you were talking about. Fun stuff.
