They planted silver and red maple by the zillions for relatively fast growing shade trees .They live about 100 years .In this part of Ohio it's not native .Those in the woods are sugar maples .
I've seen the silvers get to around 4 feet in diameter .Little fat trees 60 feet tall while a sugar can get over 100 feet in the woods . Fact I've got a sugar in my front yard that's as tall as the 100 foot oaks .
Already cut up 6 slabs no touch ups, my single 090 on a 72” Alaskan mill. 42-45” wide slabs 7-7 1/2’ long 3” thick. Last two slabs getting close to the cracked section and split full length one spot. Will try to bow tie back together after dry or I’ll set flat and put an epoxy river down middle. No metal anywhere so got lucky and ended up with 2 1/2-3 chords of firewood also. Couldn’t split with mall so I had to noodle it down to firewood size because I don’t have a splitter.
I use anchor seal a water emulsified wax, water carrier evaporates and leaves wax in grain. Put a 2500 lb arc winch on a square tube so I could move from stake pocket to stake pocket on the car hauler. Put winch wherever I needed to pull from to get slabs on trailer
Very small portion of the noodles ended up with 23 42 gallon bags of noodles when I was done. If I keep doing this need a splitter so I can noodle down to lifting size and split the rest of the way. Burned 2 and 1/2 gallons of gas through my hybrid and my 064 making firewood 20 and 25” bars.
Maybe I need to buy the jms 064 for sale on Craigslist by the cities, if I get a maxed out 064 I could retire the 090. Woods port has to make up for the 50cc less easy and it’s only 1000$.
And just kidding about the saw wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole I know some people have had luck and others not so much would almost like to see the ratio good to bad saws. Way my luck usually go’s it would be a bad one if I were to get it.
