Forestry and Logging / Re: Maintaining the state park...
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 10:37:18 AMI had a tree guy state that when bidding some tree trimming for us. It just meant taking off lower limbs and dead wood/branches and cutting back outgrowing limbs to make a canopy that looked manicured some. state parks have crews that maintain things. often it is in a campground so there are trees that folks can park camper beside and below. at campgrounds there are usually areas that are dense and natural and other areas with no debris on the ground.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Whatcha Sawin' 2024 ??
Last post by mroldstyle - Today at 10:34:28 AMQuote from: oldgraysawyer on March 16, 2024, 06:14:49 PMDid you ever get this installed? Would like to here more!Quote from: Magicman on March 14, 2024, 08:55:57 PMHow about documenting the Mikron install with pictures and giving us a report.I think it's stuck in customs but it's only been there a couple of days. Don't know how long it will take but the last time I ordered from out of the country it took about a week for customs to clear it but I would be happy to document the install on my 2003 Timberking B20. I did tell them it's for the B20 and the kit is supposed to be customized for it. I would like to think it will make my investment worth it. I don't have any business plans for my mill but just the few projects I have planned will save enough money to at least break even and from there it's all gravy.

Forestry and Logging / Maintaining the state park loo...
Last post by livemusic - Today at 10:23:59 AMAnyone know how state parks keep their 'look?' If you say 'state park look,' what does that mean? Seems to me it means no or very little understory. What is their reason for achieving this? Is it because a lot of the public likes to see trees but not brush or thick sapling growth?
How do parks maintain this 'look?' Do they use mechanical means or fire? Anyone have any insight on the 'state park look?' Funny, I google that term and get nothing. Maybe it is called something else? "State park like" also gets nothing.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: First cuts
Last post by NewYankeeSawmill - Today at 09:47:09 AMYes, standing dead for about 2 years. Is that what causes the grain to get brown and streaky like that?
I thought it was too far gone... bark was moldy underneath, sliming off the log when I tried to manipulate it. It landed with a thud, I figured it would make OK firewood once split and dried. Glad I've got 2 more logs of it!

Forestry and Logging / stihl 041 super mod with decom...
Last post by buckyboy - Today at 09:34:54 AMHello,
I am new to the forum and just wanted to share some pics of a rebuild that I recently completed. The rebuild was an early 041 av that I converted to a super and installed a decompression valve with success. I have never performed A mod quite like this and could
not find another example to follow so I just went with it and it turned out great. The 48mm cylinder and piston was purchased on eBay as were most of the saw and I just took my time and rebuilt the saw completely except the oil pump. There is a pic showing a small hole passing into the combustion chamber but not in the spark plug area where the pressure releases until the saw fires. Seems to run as good as my other 041 super and is pulling 150psi. Anyway just wanted to share, thank you for those who maintain this site and for those who share information here! https://forestryforum.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=11087

Last post by doc henderson - Today at 08:57:09 AMI use spar urethan that has UV protection. It will peel in a few years and be breached if the wood splits. It is great to use on a flat surface, and then every few years, I run the piece through the magic eraser (planer). and then refinish.
