Big oak, milling in process.

Firewood? Oh, yea. All the slab and cutoffs go in the firewood pile.

Now THERE'S a thing of beauty right there... I want me one of those bandmills !!!
 
This is what I cut about a month ago. Large Oak that was bug damaged. The bigger pieces were fun to cut with my Stihl 029. ;) I love cutting tree crotches. :frown: :msp_thumbdn:

My Nephew standing in front of the piece to show the size. He is only 3.

I had to saw cut it and noodle it with the base being so large. The chalked oval represents the center that was not reached by my 18" blade. I cut the base piece straight down, and then took another cut at the middle. Not the prettiest cut, but it worked. ;) I had already cut up about half of the straight sticks that were easier to get to on the bottom so I could make way toward the bigger pieces that were on top. I had the logging truck drop them in my FIL's driveway. Supposedly about 6 1/2 cord. I think I cut up about a cord of saw dust. :D I wish I could have saved it and used it.

It was challenging. I split some it it with my saw! :D Most of the straight stuff was easy, but the crotches and knots are nearly impossible. Easy with the saw though! ;) :hmm3grin2orange:

Looks good. Great work with your 029. :msp_thumbup:
 
My new splitting and stacking area I've been clearing out. I have a nice pile of rounds started to work on this winter as well.

Thanks. For all the negative things that get said about the 029, it has been a very good and reliable saw to me since I purchased it in 1996.

That is a big one.:msp_ohmy:

It was pretty good size. I've cut bigger 2 years ago. No pics though. :msp_thumbdn: :D
 
The boy and I were just gettin’ ready to move one of the main stacks in the house yesterday when I figured I better up-date the photo. By the end of the afternoon that far stack was no longer there… it’s in the house.

When I look at those stacks it’s hard for me to believe less then 25 months ago I didn’t have a single stick of firewood. All by my lonesome, with my little 026; all what you see here, plus what’s been burned the last two winters (heating 99.9% with wood), plus the near 5 cord or so already in the basement. Ya’ know? I might just take this winter off from cuttin’… maybe.

Here’s a bonus shot of my employee unloading into the house… he don’t work cheap.

Awesome little helper you got there ! I've got a couple just like him myself !

And .... looks like you had a visitor in the first row .... nice ! Or is that a shooting target ?

The deer don't eat much.

Great pics Spidey. It looks like your helper is right into it. Watch out though, someday he'll be the boss.
