A day cutting wood

[WDH]

Dave,

That rascal looks pretty clear, too. Nice!

[Dave Shepard]

The first 25 or 30 feet are spotless. Hard to salvage side lumber from from wo. The cant moves so much you can't get boards of a consistent thickness, and you have to take a lot of thin cuts to get a straight timber.

[4x4American]

well tell the cant to stop moving then!

[Dave Shepard]

White oak is the Chuck Norris of trees. You don't tell it what to do. It tells you what to do. :D

[YoungStump]

 

White oak might be Chuck Norris but hickory is still the devil, been fighting these self destructing things the last while, nothing like watching a beautiful butt log turn into split firewood before your eyes.

[WDH]

I hate it when that happens. 

[YoungStump]

Yeah yesterday didn't go so well, as if the hickory wasn't aggravating enough I had to run into a couple logs full of nails.



Think I broke my personal best sawed thru 15 nails on this cut.  >:(
Thankfully today went much better.

[WDH]

It does not get any worse than hickory with nails  .

[Magicman]

The fact that you were able to make it through 15 nails without the blade diving is a miracle in itself.   

[fishfighter]

I know one thing. Fresh fell oak, sawed 2x8x14' are very heavy to off load, stack and sticker. I think I will just fell enough oak trees, stack them for a couple weeks to dry somewhat. Besides the 100F temp didn't help at all.

Hate to tell ya, but they won't change much weight in a couple weeks. Just as well saw 'em up.

[47sawdust]

beenthere,
I just finished sawing 2k bf of 2 year old red oak.Still wet,still heavy.
Now I'm sawing white cedar and feel much younger.

Knew that, but just trying to talk myself out of sawing anything in this heat. ;D

Firewood cutting tomorrow. I have oak tops down everywhere and hate to see them go to waste. At $240 a cord of oak, it's a go.

[OneWithWood]

note to self:  raise price on wo firewood.

Ross teases me with a wide head  :D


  

  

 
Nice day in VT 8)
Guard here too ;D


 

[drobertson]

Looks like it was a fun day,,

[4x4American]

Oh boy I bet you could hardly resist the temptation of bringing that wide head home to replace your super!


Looks like a good day in the NEK

[Magicman]

Fair days are fun days.  I believe that Ross is just showing off.   ;D

[Peter Drouin]

Will see If I can get a deal on the 15 wide head at the last fair. ;D

[Peter Drouin]

I was sharpening some new blades and found some turbos in a box of reg. 7
I put red ink on them so I can see if I have the CBN wheel set right.
But I found that my CBM did not go to the bottom of the gullet.


  

 
Can you see the red at the bottom?
Turbos are deeper. They will be Reg 7s when I am done in 4 or 5 sharpening. :D :D

[Dave Shepard]

You prefer regular 7 over the Turbo 7? I really like the deep gullet on the Turbo. I just ordered a box of .055 Turbo's for my mill. We run .045 at work, but I like .055 better.

I like the 55 too. But when I buy reg 7 I want 7 not turbo 7.
When my CBN wheel is done , Maybe I'll get a turbo CBN.
I like to run one kind of blade and one kind of CBN wheel at a time. ;D
