Nice Skeans. Is that cedar going to the mill?

Looks like a decent money maker!!! Nice job.

Took down a few trees while I was fencing in my back yard, this one and two that was close to my house had bad spots in them, I figured sooner or later a storm would bring them down. I tried using the bottle jack method for the first time on a big pine that was leaning toward the house and it worked great.

That's not the tree I used the jack on.

I found a pic of it, I had already cleaned the tree up.

Last of the dozen or so oak snags on this property. For me, this was threading the needle more than usual.

Just a few pictures from today.

Cutting straight-up buncher ground right now. Not steep at all. These trees were definitely fried.

Can they be used for anything? Telephone poles?

What’s it matter what I run it’s my preference and what works for me for what I do. When it comes to pushing and pulling timber it’s something that is an art to not bust equipment or worse get someone killed it might good to listen to a few guys about. Being cocky is your remarks to myself and @Coltont.

Trust me its a waste of time to give the kid advice. Just another *pretty boy that cuts pecker poles and rotted out bigger trees that the previous harvests left behind. Boring to set the hinge and patting himself on the back when he intentionally flops one across a road is what its all about.. Never mind the clean up of the road, be it a skid trail or a driveway could have been avoided had the *pretty boy that fancies himself a timber faller known how to swing a tree off the lean

I am a bit jealous of all the large hardwoods you guys have access to. We have maybe five red maple trees we can see from our house and I wouldn't dream of cutting any of them. Even less maple out in the woods, it's all spruce and fir here, but just across the street or another lot nearby might have a ton of birch and maple and very few conifers.

Cut a few more sugar maples here yesterday.

That's a nice saw log! I found a few 6" maples that had fallen down around the house, but were still attached to the roots and somewhat alive. Made nice firewood, but I really want some nice maple logs for the mill. Will probably have to buy them. At least those scraggly near dead maples produced shoots from the stumps, so maybe we will have some nice maples to look at in the future.

How about we let it go, and move on?

I'm not sure what is happening Mike. But the site is very unreliable for a lot of people.

@Gentleman @exCanuck

I don't know if it helps, but sometimes it freezes for me or will not be responsive for a few minutes. Posts take a long time to go through, etc. Not savvy on forum software, but I do recall this happening on some other forums many years ago.
