WOW! Did you count to see how many rings were in that log? I would've had to...

I would have loved to, but the off bearers are being paid by the hour and I am sawing "hourly rate" so that would have been some expensive counting.

That was a 33" butt log, so it would have easily been hundreds of years.

I finished sawing the Sinker Cypress this morning just before my eyes got screwy. I knocked off and went to the eye Dr, but that is another story.

Here is the "bone pile". It's the cutoffs from the Cypress logs and guess which one of my FF Friends has first dibs ??

I see quite a few chunks that have apparently dodged the bullet.

Somebody better turn them into special creations before they get too lonely in that pile.

Hope your eyes get better. Could be cypressidise. You may need to saw some hardwood to get them to clear up. bg

That bone pile is better than the good pile I have. Make sure it is well loved.

Lynn,
What blade did you or still use on those big cypress logs?
hugs, Brandi

Magicman · « **Reply #72 on:** September 17, 2023, 07:11:35 AM »

I was and still am 100% Turbo 7's (7/39). I do not own a single blade with any other profile.

Bindian · « **Reply #73 on:** September 17, 2023, 12:04:00 PM »

Thanks Lynn,
I have also went to just Turbo 7s. But wasn't sure since I haven't had the chance to let cypress sawdust fly.
hugs, Brandi

Cypress is a total joy to saw, probably my all time favorite species but....

The sawdust will clog the sawdust chute.

This topic details my most memorial Cypress job.
