This sucka is 6lbs 10oz
A good sized baby

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow! Unbelievable. Really cool though. Good find.

It came in a shipment of 10 double bits last year and I put it aside
Then I was searching through the latest shipment I had come in and I remembered this head and put it next too that handle and it was love at 1st sight
Will have photos of the finished axe tomorrow

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool! Thank you so much for sharing all your Ax History! Awesomeness going on here.

 

[ajschainsaws]

This one is for you @RI Chevy this would mix with your Box Elder to make a nice handle

 

[RI Chevy]

OMG! Wicked nice tree. What in the world is that?
I'd be afraid to cut it? LOL

 

[ajschainsaws]

Rainbow eucalyptus I think

 

[RI Chevy]

Just wow. Beautiful tree there.
Must smell nice. Clear your sinuses when cutting it up. Lol

 

[ajschainsaws]

It’s another one cut and split when green because it’s a bar steward when it’s dry

 

[RI Chevy]

Looks very hard.

It’s wrong what they charge , like your thinking on the Alaskan mill
I only wanted too go through there offcut pile and eye up some pieces that was suitable for this axe addiction but they wanted same prices as furtinure timber and at the end of the day these short offcuts would be probably cut up by workers for firewood anyways
I need to get my slacking ass In gear back in Summer of 2016 I bought a brand new woodland mills WC88 wood chipper and a brand new woodland mills HM130 bandsaw mill with track extension and 10 spare blades and road legal trailer too fix it on I haven’t even unboxed the bandsaw mill
The woodchipper I’ve worked and worked it and it’s earnt its money back paid for itself and the bandsaw mill I was going too sell the complete bandsaw outfit and get a logosol m8 but now I see the board ft prices I might think again about gett8ng it set up

Keep the bandsaw mill. They're faster and less labor-intensive than a chainsaw mill. Also less waste.

Absolutely, if I had the money I would’ve gotten a bandsaw mill rather than gear up for a chainsaw mill. Having an excuse to buy a 394XP was convenient though

My Granberg has been great but I mainly use it for large logs and a few projects here and there. Hope my comment didn't sound rude. I just think you'd regret selling the bandmill for a chainsaw mill.

I know the feeling. I'll have a bandmill someday too. Too many toys and never enough cash!

Truth! One good thing about paying so much for that lumber the other day is now my wife is 100% supportive of my milling venture. Although I think she still wonders why I couldn’t use my 288 to mill with. CAD is a deceitful demon...lol!!!!

Yes sir! But therapy indictates a problem, I don’t see a problem

Very true. My girlfriend doesn't quite understand my fascination with tools, saws etc. but she doesn't bust my chops. I could be doing much worse things with my time and money.
