For most of you who do this all day...this probably will not mean much, however, I thought that I'd share a bit of my wood cutting.
Here was the victim of choice. A rather large Ash hung up at around a 45° angle. You can see where I took a wedge out to see what kind of wood it is:
I started cutting off chunks and let the tree drop. You may have seen my post in the Chainsaw forum about a saw not cutting straight. Well, now you can see it. I believe a new chain is in order along with truing up the bar :
Here is a picture of the cut up stuff a bit closer:
Just in case you don't know what that white stuff is..... well, I'll let you ask!
This is SW MN not too far from my place. If you look through the trees you can see some of my out buildings.
I quit cutting because of the saw not cutting straight. I am going to get all of that tree! I really like how this dry ash burns! There are a few others this size in this small woods too. I have exclusive cutting rights one my neighbors land. You can see a couple more larger dead trees in the background. I can take any thing that's dead! Currently, I don't want anything green! I'm saving a lot of $$ not buying propain (propane). And another cool thing is that I own my tank so I don't have ANY one telling me that I need to use X amount a year or they'll take the tank.:monkey:
I got weighed at the DR yesterday and I'm down to 185 lbs! I was up to 205! I still have some gut fat to loose. If I keep cutting like this I should be in tip top shape! Now, I need to get my 17 year old daughter out there! She has helped twice! Riding in the "old dirty stinky" truck.
If anyone is in the area and WANTS to show me what a "real" saw can do....we can send you home with a pickup load!:greenchainsaw:
