Think I need a bigger saw....

[Ianab]

Got my Port Orford Cedar logs all cut up and drying now.  
So my friend says I'm gonna need some more timber for fencing around the new house, and the neighbour is OK with us felling some trees from the boundary 'hedge'
I use the term hedge loosely.. the other Kiwi's will know the sort of thing I mean  :D

The banana cypruss in the front right I have dropped OK, and the skinny Euc behind it is next. But the next Euc and the Macs behind it are 48"+  : And as for the 50"+ Mac thats layed over at 45 deg... ummm.. I'll get back to you on that one..

This log is 20m (60ft) and although it's a banana it's bucked up into 5 short and reasonably straight logs. The macrocarpa seems to dry out OK in spite of all the reaction wood in a log like this. Ohhh.. and that nice soft patch of bushes where the log landed is the biggest patch of barberry, blackberry and holly on the whole farm  >:(  Wasn't a lot of choice where that tree was going to fall.
But we have this little toy available tomorrow to drag the logs out of the scrub  

So that should set me up with a couple of days good sawing

Got the digger organised today and the logs moved  

And lined up on the side of the track where we can saw them.

Now a couple of days wet weather moving in  :( , should be fine for the weekend however. Will be some sawdust flying then  8)
