Standing at my 3rd 16 which ended up being 32". Got 3 16's, 2 32's, and a short chunk for pulp. Fairly nice can of corn. about 3.5 bushel. Had to high stump on the rock's sake. Can't tell, but to the right is steep and a RMZ. You'd be just beggin' to pull that bad boy down the hill if you cut it from that side. I faced it from the downhill side though, didn't want to waste anymore wood to get my powerhead in.

Well that sure it a prudy little peck pole you got laying on the ground there. Nice looking chunk of wood man. Keep the good pics rolling.

Tall Pine

Nice stick! Believe it or not the tallest Pine I ever cut was in Idaho. Just north east of Lewiston, elevation around a thousand feet, right down by Potlach creek; Yellow Pine, with a few White Pine was averaging about 3' dbh, 5 32's, with a short top log! I would have never dreamed of cutting timber that tall in Idaho...wish I would have taken some pics

Keep em comin Pard!

I cut a 5 32 Pine once too. It was only 3ft on the butt, but tall and straight. I know, sometimes we get tricked when we get in our strip.

4 32's (2 16's and 3 32's, same diff) in this one, 4 + bushel. Raised back cut 4" inches, bladed her right in the slot, not a sliver pulled. I'm a sucker for the raised backcut in big pine, I think it's the way to do it. Period. Everyone is different. I have just noticed it works quite well for pull and control. Big Pine can get squirrly on ya...quick. It's a very heavy wood. The limbs are subtantually heavy as well. They move the stick more than a heavy limbed fir.

A 16 and 3 32's. Nice stick too.

 

[Burvol]

There's red fir in this unit like this all day long. I just wanted some pine pics. Don't have too many, LOL.

Some old pics

Here's some pics of one of my bullbuckers. The pics were taken in Cleagh Cr on Vancouver Island. Not bad spruce!

 

[coastalfaller]

Some more pics for you, Burvol!

Some of one of my guys on the Mid Coast of BC

Mr. Coastal, that is rediculous. How did he reach through? Cut boxes on the stump?

 

[mdavlee]

Wow those are some big trees.

Those trees are retarded big!! I would give 4 ribs, a kidney, 4 fingers, and my left butt cheek to fall just one like that.

 

[hammerlogging]

Coastal......beautiful!

Burv, heck of a handy couple sticks too!

 

[joesawer]

Great pictures. Those are some huge trees. I really like the hinges, that is some nice work.
Good pics of proper use of cork boots as well, Lol.

How long ago where those pics taken. All the recent pictures I have seen from BC the fallers looked like they are wearing ghost buster uniforms.

I climbed a yellow pine in Blue Jay CA that I popped the top out of it at 175 feet. They loaded 4 log trucks with that one tree.
I always thought that was a big tree, but it is a baby compared to some of the pictures that have been posted here.

A very long bar!

LOL. Yeah, they're fun alright! But you know the best sized wood for production is like what Burvol is in, nice tall 3ft on the stump wood. They go down nice and quick and ALOT less bucking!

Ha, ha. Yeah, here in BC these days we're regulated pretty heavily. You're not allowed out of the crummy w/o your PPE, including the hi vis shirt or vest. The pics from Cleagh were taken late 70's and the others were taken in 2006.
