Yea I just go by the sherill tree weight chart around here it’s a lot of oak and a lot of pecan which is heavy too. I have a few acres but I live right by a major highway right outside of Houston there’s always people cutting down old timber to clear lots for stores and such my kids get scared when we drive by down trees cause they know we will be stopping
I have 6/4 and 8/4 of Ash Oak and Hickory. Not going kiln dry it just air dry . If I had access to a kiln I would be done
I was told by air drying, you couldn't get down to the desired 8%(?) MC that lumber should be at before using. Not disputing you, just what I was told.
No, I wouldn't want to sit on any chair she was onHey Chipper, was that you sitting in Pelosi's chair yesterday?Haha

I'd advise similar, but I would suggest buying a real nice used one that has more American built parts on it
.I saw a large pileup on Christmas Eve in 93, the good thing was that there were no semi's on the rd or it would have been tragic.
So you shouldn't have any problem carrying the 572 then
.Swing by, you can use it anytime

That's funnier than a 3 legged dog named lucky@chipper1 - see, now someone is talkin' like me. My 40-40-4 year old uncle is so proud...

I kinda feel like Farmer Steve, what did I miss?
$140 wrap kit : /So you shouldn't have any problem carrying the 572 then

Is that one of those $30 wrap kits
They both look good, but it seems the 462 is a little faster.
Too bad the stihl doesn't feel as good in hand to me, it's a sweet saw. That being said I have no problem dealing with the handling as I am not doing much limbing with mine. Which saw do you prefer better for limbing, you do waaaaay more than I do.
I knew that wasn't cheap, but dang.

I love Oak, and unfortunately the younger generation would rather buy a table at Ikea and paint it black and white. I have a big Oak mantle that came out of my wife's great Aunts house, and an Oak kitchen table she gave me also. I hope I didn't post these pics already, I'm not going back to see. This Oak Office chair comes with a story, so I'll start 6 weeks ago and work back ward. I get home and my wife meets me at the door and says, "Will you refinish your Oak chair in your shop for Simons Christmas present?" I calmly replied, "NO,@@%$&@$, are you nuts, NO, &%$#((&^, NO, '"THATS MY CHAIR, NO!" Then she said she asked our SIL what he wanted for Christmas, and he said an office chair for his desk at work. He's a professor at the U of MD, school of Medicine. She asked if he wanted chrome, leather, what color? He said, would like an old bankers chair. Go back 40 years, I remember the day I got the chair. I was in my Dad's 78 F600 dump truck, taking a load of rotted logs and stuff to the landfill. This great big giant guy at the gate was sitting in it. The springs were broken because when he stood up it just flopped back and forth. He pointed where he wanted me to go, and went back to sit down. I called over to him, "Hey man, what are you going to do with that chair?" He smiled, picked the chair up, and said, Give it to you!", and tossed it up on the truck. I found some springs at the hardware store, but they were an inch too short, and just held the chair up right. if you sat on it, it would still flop backwards. Fast forward 40 years, and I started thinking. If i give it to Simon, it will become a family heirloom, so I started working on it. First thing I went on line and found, "myoldchair" and they had the proper springs for it. Then to strip it. I was taking off several layers of old dark red stain. On the back of the chair there was a round brass tag that said, "The B L Marbles Chair Co. Bedford Ohio. Took the seat off the base and all of the hardware was filthy, but in excellent shape. I cleaned it then painted it black with the "Hammered" finish paint. Put 5 coats of Spar Urethane on it. found new casters for it. Christmas eve I still hadn't found a box that it would fit in, then I saw one that if I taped the bottom, wrapped it, then flipped it over, and slid it on top it just looked like a big present. We waited for the last present and told him to go open it, but guess what it was, first. He likes good beer so I said it was a kegarator. he went over and tilted it to see how heavy it was, and realized the box was just setting over the present. He pulled it off and gasped. he sat in, rocked, swiveled, raised and lowered. He did not get out of it for a solid half hour. I did the right thing. If I hadn't given it to him, when I croak, it probably would have gone back to the land fill. Not the same one, it's a golf course now. Form what I could find out it's between 60-100 years old.
I air dry in my barn when the wood gets to 14-15 %mc it comes into my house where it drops to the desired mc. Specially if I have the wood stove going

It's too humid in MD to go down to 8%, I stop at 12%. This fold down table is in my hunting cabin. I milled it from a big wind blown White Pine. I let it dry in the tralier in WV for 4-5 years. A friend is a custom cabinet maker with a 48" planer and 48" double belt sander. he ran two boards through them, then cut a straight edge on both. I joined them with wood glue, no biscuits, and it's been stable for 6-7 years.
Thanks, that’s good to know, been looking at ruger American for awhile, nice to know they have a similar feel. They sound like a great rifle especially for the price.
