A big beech (over 100 cm diameter) for firewood:

The hydraulik wood splitter doesn't spilt so big wood, so we had to split it by hand in four parts:

That is a real pretty place you've got there, Traktorist2222! Thanks for posting the pictures, keep 'em coming.

now your loggin' i felt sorry for you when i saw the first few pics of the spruce pecker poles, but now i'm envious of the big beech. i get a few close to 30" or 80 cm. but not too much over 3'(100 cm)

Thanks for sharing. Could you explain where you were cutting and what the spruce is for? You must have a big stove or fireplace looking at the size of the wood in the woodpile. Pics?

Great pictures and a nice collection of saws! Always nice to see pictures from overseas, too.





If you ever feel like exporting a handful of non-US Dolmar parts like a couple sets of the red covers (all we can get are the black ones anymore) and a few sets of the smaller bucking spikes, I'd love to get my hands on some!

Nice. Nice everything. Nice saws, tractor, splitter, Dad, trailer, logs, stack of firewood, everything.

Nice pics too. Keep up the good work. I really like your saw "arsenal". You are prepared for most anything.

Wow

Dude those are some awesome pics. I wanna go over to Germany soooo bad and check it out. That is one monstrous Beech that's down there... Thanks for the pics and send some more out eh?

 

[bcorradi]

Yes very cool pictures. I noticed the wood was cut to pretty long lengths. What are you using for a heating source? An outdoor wood boiler?

No need for hiding behind the tree Martin, your equipment is top notch and most liked in uncle sam country !!

fyi . Firewood in Germany is mostly cut in meter length (Meterholz)for drying. Much easier to stack, I guess. When dry, they use the circular firewood saw or chainsaw to cut it to woodstove size.

+1 nice pic's

We make the wood dry on the length of 1 meter and cut it then on 33 cm for our oven. But in Germany many people have an oven that can use 1 meter pieces.

The spruces are sold for boards and bars (are these the right words) to saw mills. They grew in our own forest. That's no special plantage, it's like most of the black forest where I come from looks like.

I will post more pictures the next days.

Boards and beams ( I think that is the word you wanted)


Really nice pics.

Here are more pictures!

These are from August 2004 and show my father and my uncle cutting wood fallen by a storm. The chainsaw is a MS 660, almost new at that time.
