A day cutting wood

[fishfighter]

I just don't know how y'all guys up north do it. Way to cold for this southern boy. ;D

[Dave Shepard]

I am convinced log clamps were invented in winter.

[bkaimwood]

Nice thermometer, Peter. Logs don't look so bad either :)...I had a girly calender hanging on the wall in the garage...my wife decided the women were not properly dressed, and proceded to draw bikinis on them with a sharpie....

[Peter Drouin]

Don't you think she's HOT? :D :D :D

That time of the year.



 
Loads of pine and hemlock slabs going to boil sap to make maple syrup.
I keep 20 or so ½cords around.
In the winter the more bark works to hard to chip the slabs up. Frozen slabs are the pits. So I bundle them.



 

Dry ones,


 

Green ones, I sell them for $45.00 each.

I did poke the chip pile with the forks, not as bad as I thought the frost would be.



  

 

The mud is dring up some too.



 


Hi C Farm    You going to the open house at Wood Mizer in April?

[drobertson]

Looks like a beautiful day in the Northeast,, 

[4x4American]

Whatcha got under that lean to up top?  Your sawmill and lumber shed look great.  Do you sell the green slab bundles for $45 or the dry ones for that? 

[thecfarm]

I hope to see my friend Peter at the Chesterville open house April 16.
Saw Ross at the store again today. He was buying shavings.

That [lean to] is going to have a big window to let sun light in the back room. I have to cover it with live edge siding like this.



 
I sell a lot of things and need to have a display, so I'm making different displays all over the mill shed.

And yes, I get 45 dry or green. That's the trick, to sell all the parts of the log, not just the lumber. 

[Peter Drouin]

Hi C Farm, you got snow up there?
I had to sand some the other day with John by driving and shaking the bucket. I get a so so job that way. :D :D :D :D


  

  

[thecfarm]

Peter,what's that white stuff??   ;D
Remember this back in '14??



 

I don't think he could get enough together this year to make a snow banken 2 feet high.
I could drive my car in my field.

[Peter Drouin]

Last year was the pits. :D :D My drive way is breaking up now. My honey bees are flying all over the place too. 8)

[Peter Drouin]

One of those mornings. :D :D



 

[4x4American]

A near miss!

Looks like your timestamp is off by a smidge lol

[Magicman]

Obviously you need to do a better job heat treating those saw teeth.   :D :D

[Deese]

Nice! I've never found a quarter in a log before  :D ;D
It's your lucky day!  ;D ;D

[lshobie]

ya made 25 cents!

[Bandmill Bandit]

There are bands made for that very purpose.

I am surprised you cut through it. i would stopped the feed the second I heard the zzziiiiggggg.

[Chuck White]

Lag screws are usually pretty mild steel, by the time I hear it, it's already coming out the other side!  :-\

[4x4American]

Yea I've sawed clean through a few of them myself.  With them 7° .055" blades you can keep going without much diving I've found you just have to slow down...lots  of times the sawhead will jump and buck if I don't slow down lol

[landscraper]

ya made 25 cents!

The elusive money tree has at last been located.

But now it is lumber and no longer lives to reproduce!

Obviously you need to do a better job heat treating those saw teeth.   :D :D
