I worked on and off this weekend on obtaining two walnut trees. I didn't have to work as hard as I had feared due to the guy clearning the land having a track hole and doing a lot of my work for me.:biggrinbounce2: :biggrinbounce2:
It took me three loads to obtain all that I wanted to work with. I hope to finish up my CSM rig and get to practicing on some of the smaller stuff. As you can see from the pics, I even got the stump off of the largest tree. It was a load by itself and even bottomed out my truck just by the tongue weight. I was greatly pleased with my saws, but ran into some problems with my Stihl 066's bar. It kept clogging up at the nose to the point of choking down the saw. If I kept the nose clear of the log as I cut, it wouldn't get clogged. Any ideas? My other saw is a Jonsered 2050 Turbo and it eat up everything I put it into without ANY problems.
Some nice wood.
The only way to load your wood.
My new playground!
I hope to have some more photos as I start to process the trees. I have an older gunsmith coming over soon to help me layout the trees to obtain the best gunstocks I can out of them.
