I'll bet the big Hemlocks were very old. They are very slow growing (especially for an evergreen) and can live a long time and get very big.

They can live over 500 years and reach over 5' in diameter, but large ones are very rare.
I didn’t take many pictures of them at the time but here is one. Some of the larger ones were 30-40+” diameter. This one was around 30” diameter and was 110’ feet tall, those are 8” wedges. 08B15436-D837-4CE1-9D83-B89B1CC8FD63.png

What the heck do you do with that little dinky wedge driver? Get something with a longer handle, council tool. Itll drive them in with a hell of alot less effort. Plus you can slip your gas and oil down over the handle for easier carrying.

I was using that when I broke one of my axes Colton, but thanks for the insight. 0EA1CA05-3FB6-42AA-9306-D3E2527C7216.jpeg This one was my 4 or 5 pounder with a custom handle.

Wow, this thing responded well to porting it. It’s about the equivalent to a stock 390xp powerwise now I would say. Probably one of the best all around 70cc saws I’ve ran... stock, muffler modded or ported.

365xt ported by me and my stock but with a muffler mod in 28 inch oak. The times are almost identical.


Yes, I know the bar is too short and I should have had the log raised but I think it is a pretty good comparison.

That’s a real nice looking log. Did you use it for firewood or mill it? Most of my test wood is garbage or low quality end cuts. I can’t cut the nice stuff into cookies. Lol

I sold that log and some others. I sometimes have boards sawed by the Amish for my own use but all my sheds are full. I am a woodworker. They charge me 17 cents a foot to saw and have it all stacked and strapped on my trailer when I pick it up. I cut the log a little long so I could use it as a test.

Wow better but a few feet off of that. Worthless until the shake clears up. Poor soil and an old tree.
Yup I agree. Low grade garbage buttlog, even the next log wasn’t that great. We did get one nicer 3rd log then the rest was just kind of top lol. Kind of short tree, grew on ridge top. I think it was about 80ft tall. It sure was fun to cut it down though lol.

Don’t get all Dennis Cahoon on me :)
If the first 12 feet aren't choice wood the 3rd cut isnt going to be any better. Taper knots false limb knots etc. Maybe your hardwood markets are different but here you better have good clear logs or your getting pallet price. Central PA.

In retrospect it would have saved me the trouble making a high stump. Only if I had X-ray vision into a tree. Lol

Yeah that don't really mean shyt up this way. But each buyer/respective market is its own. I've cut cherry that had 8 foot of garbage azz butt log, but the remainder of the tree was clean, clear and paid. Very rocky up my way, even a tree showing outstanding health can be compromised by poor soil, rocks/boulders etc.

I get what your saying. Do you guys have veneer quality white oak or walnut? Pm me if you wish to speak over the phone. Maybe then you won't think I'm just being hard on you and you can take my advice or leave it
