Very nice
I really like the looks of the underside, nice rounded edges.
All them sharp square corners on pistons always bother me. Seems to me as a good place to start a crack.
Plus a lot of extra weight.

I had an friend tell me one time.
If you take a wooden dowel and try to break it. It will bend a long way before it starts to crack.
Take that same dowel and make small cut across it with a knife.
It will start to crack at the cut much sooner then the one that's nice and smooth.

Just always made sense to me after that.

Nice job Brad. Sounded like higher RPMs in the first cut.
Is that Cottonwood?

Really dry, hard Ash. I was leaning on it a lot harder in the second cut. When I do videos, I try to demonstrate the powerband.

It's great to be feeling better than I have in a couple years! Some of these jobs have been setting around for MONTHS!

Seems like a stock saw with a dull chain. Lotsa rpms but no go.
