back that ash up

[SPDRMNKY]

well, first I admired the sunset on the drive home

then I backed that ash up

then I took another picture, cuz' I didn't want to start unloading yet

and today marks my first barber chair...FMR. all the rest of them leaning ashes gonna get a bored back cut, and then blip the strap. flame on...I didn't know what I didn't know, and I'm glad to be in one piece.

Nice load of wood and pretty cool trailer. Glad you're in one piece. Are you saying you didn't plunge cut the one that barber chaired on you? Just curious as I cut a lot of leaning trees myself and that is one of my biggest worries. Any pics of the barber chair?

that's what I'm saying. I don't cut much ash, and as far as leaners go, this one was not what I'd recognize as an obvious barber chair candidate. after, I thought about how the ash I've had splits, and it should have been obvious. experience is the best teacher, if you survive.

no pics.

thanks! Lily's a 95...big fan of square headlights...despite Dana 35 shortcomings. she was my "welcome home from Iraq" present, and helped me keep my sanity those first couple of years.

Glad you didnt get hurt man!

Ive read everything I could on this site I could find on felling and doing hazard trees, trying to apply it all whenever I can.

Wish someone had established a sticky on it sometime in the past and not included/eliminated all the non essential posts. You have to wade through quite a lot of non informative posts to get to anything good. And most likely I have missed some too, but there is enough info here to get ya going.

I'm not sure I understand...

you mean like this?

usually the 1/2" course thread tap works okay...the bugger is when I have to cut threads on my kindling

I'm always debating whether to use a course or fine thread die... :msp_confused:

You should've seen all the Ash we cut down and took to the dump today.

I thought ash was a hardwood but I guess maybe not. I cut some that had been leaning against another tree for a while and it was really lite. Had a great scent to the wood and was already very dry. Was RTB but didn't seem to hold up nearly as well as red oak or get nearly as hot. Was the ash I got just very deteriorated or is it normally like that?

Its a hardwood alright, think baseball bat, major league.

I'm kinda noticing that trees on this side of the Mississippi, and that side of the Mississippi, ain't zzzactly the same.

Heck, maybe it's hickory, or maybe it's pecan...at least it's all free, except the work!

Yup. That is very true sometimes! :msp_smile: And I agree that free wood is ALWAYS good! (well, almost always good...)

I just dropped a bunch of rep on this ash.

I lied. I'm rep broke. Kinda like ash broke, only not as uncomfortable.
