Ante up.. I know ya'll took pictures this week..

I worked a few hours today and about have this 10 acre plot wrapped up. These pics I took today (nothin' fancy) represent 80-90% of what the land has to offer, slash and/or loblolly pines. I'm not sure which I like better.. pine trees trying to tag ur hard hat or rotten/hollow/stinky oaks. Give me some live trees! :hmm3grin2orange:

Par for the course:







This is the most level I've cut since getting the 394xp.. :laugh:



Despite the 105* feels like temp, it was a good day for an amateur.

Anyway, I'm tired of lookin' at trashy wood, where's Your pics/video? What are you workin' on?

Yes siree.. Dangerous indeed. I'm doing my best to not get too comfortable with em.

My favorite is the 5' wide by 3' tall mounds of brushat the base of every friggin tree. Consistently no solid footing...

This growth model project I mentioned is giving me lots of opportunities to practice unusual cuts. Working for the 'ologists is not always a bad thing. Here's a block-out face I used to make sure I had the mechanics down. ~20" DF so; otherwise pretty routine cutting. (I only show the unusual cuts and the mistakes because they're the interesting parts)

Who's the kid there with ya? It couldn't possibly be your seed, look see he knows how to smile:msp_biggrin:.

Good on ya with the climbing. I like climbing but I don't like all that rigging and swinging to other sticks. I just waste time and energy coming down and restarting at the bottom of the new one. But then I don't use a tree saddle either.

Looks like good work and good weather to be doing it in too.
