Hi all,
I've been lurking for a while now, and finally have something to ask specifics/share, etc.
I was cutting an old long dead tree yesterday at my dad's house. They had never seen the tree alive as long as they had lived there, (~10 years) and it just fell in a wind storm a few weeks back. I'm wondering if you could possibly give your thoughts about what kind of tree it is.
You'll notice that the rings are pretty wide in the middle. The wood was very hard, and the diameter, as you can see is about 36". The noodles smell just like the red Oak that I have stacked in my yard at home for what it's worth.
It was a tree that has spent the last 100 years on a property line along a farm field, largely open land in lower West Michigan.
I bought the 346 and the Fiskars this fall after spending a lot of time on this forum. I'm now fully into feeding the OWB for the first time. Lots of fun.
I realize that this tree is a bit much for the little 346, but with an 18" bar and semi-chisel chain, it never had a hiccup. It pulled all day. I'm thoroughly impressed with this little unit.
The big old rounds split up really nice with the x27 too.
Thoughts about the type of tree?
Thanks,
Phill
