Neat, but MAN do you need a bigger saw for that stuff!!!

Those little saws will WORK. Before I knew better(this really means before I found this site and caught CAD from you guys) I cut all my wood with my ms210. Big wood, small wood, it didnt mattter.

Nice pile of wood by the way mig.

Cripes, that saw cuts slow. I mean I was stunned. Got the job done though. Nice looking country too.

What kind of wood is that?

The long log in the pics and movie is Acacia longifolia (I don’t know the English common name).

In the back firewood pile it's mostly Acacia dealbata and Cupressus lusitanica. Both Acacia species are invasive species here. It’s not the best firewood but they grow up very fast.

I’m cutting almost all Acacias to replace them with the original forest species of this region, Oaks and Pines. I will maintain some Acacia's area only for firewood.

Husky gloves on a Stihl saw? I'm suprised either the saw or the gloves didn't blow up or burst into flames or something....

All you are right. I usually use chaps but this weekend I don’t know why I didn’t use it. Stupid mind! Thanks for remember me to use always chaps.
