Black Walnut Curbside.

[Nailsbeats]

Caught this thing trying to hail a cab so we layed it down and picked it up.

No hard hat on the Old Man and I don't want to here about it from some know it all PPE Nazi. He's in a yard dropping a Walnut not in the PNW dropping a 200' Red for crying out loud. No ear plugs either, he can't here anyway. Wait a minute, he might just...........wait...........no glasses to boot. Enjoy the show.

Thanks MDS. My Old Man is an absolute machine, just an oldschool workhorse.

The Chevy needs tires, but with the duals I like to wait until one goes flat, that way I know I'm getting maximum wear.

My bro and I had a 21' Timberking hydraulic portable bandmill for a few years, sawed a bunch of stuff and sold it cause there was no money to be had. I can get this stuff sawed for myself cheaper than I could saw it myself. Guy down the road works cheap. I actually have a bunch of Black Walnut sitting there waiting to get done right now. I'll just add this to the pile.

I have a woodshop at my house and like to build stuff out of my own lumber.

Yeah, milling gets old for me too. My old man has a little one that he likes to play with so that's where we take all our logs. He'll never try and mill for profit, just keeps it a hobby and that works for him. I must say it is convenient to be able to get boards at any point without spending dough though. Here's some red pine we were milling for a landscaping job.

Oh. I guess that shows how little I know. I didn't realize that branches only drop out of trees in the PNW.

The difference here is you can see all the limbs and they aren't catching on nearby trees, tearing off above your head, really no danger after inspection.

He did hit a nail putting the notch in. He notched with a 395/42" and put the backcut in with a 395/36". Oh well, got some good logs out of it, even if we did dull a chain.

Not that it was a huge tree, just that it was a very nice Black Walnut. The biggest I've ever cut, a few around 36" or so, but this was bigger and had a heck of a canopy spread.

And a good day to you, Dano. The Dingo would have liked that job. I just lopped most of the brush off into a windrow in the street and ate it up like Pac Man and into the dump truck. I think I only had three loads of brush including the rakings, no chipper on this one. The dump was only a few blocks away so it worked out real nice.

I tell ya, the biggest advantage to dropping a tree in the street is cleanup. Just drop the bucket and go.
