MM has a good wood eye! At just $300 while supplies last, if you buy within the next 10 minutes, But wait... Theres More!

[WDH]

You can get two for the price of one if you order now...

[Magicman]

Ever seen a straight one?

Oh yes, I have straight ones.  Sweep but straight.  I do not know that I have seen one as crooked as that one, but mine are not worth $300 either.   ;D

Just pay handling charges.  :D

Operators are standing BUY!

I should not tell this story, but I got my chainsaw pinched when felling this one.  Not my best effort.  A bit of misjudgement on my part.  Led to a whole host of interesting developments.  A whack of long chains, a 4-wheel drive truck, some luck, and I got this fine specimen down and did not even ruin the bar on the saw. 

Miraculously. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I don't think I would have told that one, Pop.  :

[hackberry jake]

You mean to tell me, that it was hard to judge which way that one wanted to go? No way  smiley_chop

[WDH]

It was only twisted in about 6 directions.  I should have asked for help on the Chainsaw Board before trying to fell it, but I am afraid to go in there  .  It can be a dark and scary place.

[hackberry jake]

If it makes you feel any better, The red oak I dropped (Spearment Cookie) next to the saw shed fell in the exact direction I wanted it to... Right into some smaller sweet gums. I figured it would just smash the gums, and it probably would have, but I didn't follow through on the felling cut and it was a slow decent. It hit the sweet gums and then rolled off of them straight towards the sawshed. It missed it by about four feet. Some of the branches hit it, but I don't build no pansy sawsheds  ;D

[WDH]

You have to watch sweetgum.  That is what it will do. 

[AnthonyW]

It is what is on the inside that counts.

Almost as scary as the food section

And I will match MM walnut with a Doug fir

Sawed a bunch of crotches like the DF shown in the last post, used them to make the sides for benches. The really curved logs got sawed for making the tops of headboards for beds and the backs of benches. Sorry, no pictures, it was 20 years ago.

[dboyt]

Someone say sweetgum?

Not as Charactered as MM's but turned out better than I thought.



 

[sprucebunny]

I had a hard time cutting this one into splitable firewood  :D


 

[Magicman]

Gotta be bad when even your firewood is crooked.   :D

[Farmer Jim]

You folks have made my day. I can see I'm amongst friends.  I like to see what's in the gnarly ones too. My current quest is for figured Hard Maple for my flintlock blanks.  I have a bunch of candidates in waiting.

I drove 16 miles to saw 6 "very nice" Pine logs for a friend.  They may not have been ugly, but it was not a pretty sight either.   :-\

What were you asked to cut out those sticks?   

[hackberry jake]

16 miles isn't too bad. Thats like a board foot a mile  ;D

[5quarter]

MM...I can see the branches laying on the ground there...where did you say the logs were?

;) ;D

[WDH]

They look dead, too.

Sprucebunny,

Looks like something is living in your log  .

Wow, I like your quad with the snow tracks on it!  What is it, did you do the upgrade and how do you like it?

And are you and the quad HUGE or is your chainsaw tiny? :D
