Sure gives a whole new meaning to the term "Black Friday."

I've gotta get a haircut and accompany the SheWolf on a furniture shopping trip. If I had my druthers I'd ruther be out there limbing that pecan or Shane's poplar. :)

I would love to have you out here limbing up Poplar all day with me :) Not sure if you can handle this size of poplar though. It's about a 28" Poplar :)

We don't "do" Black Friday. We'll probably be milling up those cherry logs, or going after that big oak we took down a while back. Need some rough-sawn oak?

I'm sure Fred would be right at home working a 28" poplar; and taking great pics while he was at it. ;o)

Sounds like a great find. I just used some pecan to smoke some Boston butts with last night. I mixed it with some hickory
and cooked it low and slow. Man! Thanksgiving BBQ is great!

This will be the first chance I get to run it for very long every time I fire it up it seems like all the sawing is done already.

I'm glad it went to a good home, Get a 28" or 32" bar for it. Crank the oiler and go to town.... I kinda miss it! The 5100 is so loney being the only red one left in a garage full of orange and white....

I'm thinking the same thing, if its 30" diameter, its a bit more wood.

LOL

A 30'' Pecan is BIG Pecan tree too!! Are they really that big?

Exact opposite, turned out to be two small trees already bucked up into 12" lengths.:msp_mad: So anyway we gave up on that plan and turned to plan B.

Same buddy has a sawmill and has people bring logs to mill and for some reason decide not to mill them or don't have the money to have it done anyway end result is alot of hardwood logs laying in the pasture, so we commenced to bucking and splitting.

Pretty easy going, buck up on the lull and split. I believe we ended up with about 2 cords when we finished from 9-5:30 today. That is my firewood rig pictured I usually load it down heavier but It's a 90min drive home from his house to mine on interstate so I went light on it.
