Nice clean work Mike!

Nice thread. Can’t wait to see it in the wood

Good tip on the Oiler.

Another premium saw build for the Silver Eagle Saw Shop! Nice job Mike.

As promised here’s a video from today’s play time. The saw is still tuned on the fat side and is on its second tank of fuel in the video. Once we get a couple more tanks of fuel run through it I will retune it. It was gaining power with every cut we made. I’m happy and I think my buddy is also happy. I’m calling it a win in my book.

Very nice Mike! Saw sounded great. Hard rock maple?
Tree came down pre split! LOL

Thanks Jeff. I’m not entirely sure what sort of wood it is. Im not great at Telling the difference unless they have leaves. I know it was hard stuff. Likely sugar maple.

Thanks buddy. I wasn’t expecting it to split like that when I cut down. It hit the ground and blew apart.

 

[RI Chevy]

Good thing you took it down then! [emoji106]

That's Maple for you... If they land on a big limb like that it'll blow them apart. Freezing temps probably don't help.

Nice job Mike.

Great job Mike, looks like Sugar Maple to me. Sugar Maple is generally called Hard Maple, and Rock Maple is Black Maple, not as common but is what they use for bowing alley floors and gym floors).

Sugar Maple has more BTUs.

Question: Do you use different #s for a quad port 461 than you would use for a 460? What intake # did you go with?

 

[Dub11]

Skookum Mike! I always dig your builds.

Skookum as *f-word!

 

[MustangMike]

Tough to tell wood from pics, and they change a bit by area, but generally Red Maple will be lighter in color, and that slight yellowish tint means Sugar Maple.

That saw sounds damn good man!! And build threads such as this are what makes this forum what it is. Well done!

Thanks Mike. I use more BD on a 461 compared to a 460. The intake on this saw is at 81*.

Looks like soft maple, red or silver, never had a hard maple split on impact.

EDIT: I take that back, I missed the rot at the fork. Just seems to have smooth bark for its size.
