Let’s see some stumps

Bad leaning Red Oak that was rotten in the center.
I bore cut it & left a larger than normal strap because I knew there wasn’t much left of it.

Turned it a bit & pitched it down the hill in the general direction it was leaning.

Same thing but with more stable heart wood & less lean.

The rest of this job were Pines.

That top one makes me nervous and I did t have to cut it.

It was out over that driveway a good bit & leaning hard. I was able to turn it a fair amount with the face & bore cut.

Years ago a well was dug & a water line put in on the back side of the tree: it appears the roots were compromised then & this was the outcome.

I have one of those with a toasted piston. Might have to see if the cylinder will clean up and how much a piston is.

Little Red Barn offers a piston now.
YMMV.
695 with 24" bar is sweet!

I ran a LRB piston in a closed port Husky 55 for a while. No issues at all.

I won't advise anyone to use that place. They sold me a bad cylinder that covers wouldn't even fit on(decomp in the wrong place), and wouldn't do a thing to take care of the issues. As I told them, anytime I can pay it forward I would...

Little cherry I cut "up" that was near the barn and had a bad split show up recently.

Did the tree get hung up? Or are my eyes playing games on me?

Looks to me like it’s hanging there..

Gotta look on your computer not your phone Jeff.
Here I zoomed in on that pic a little for you.
Can you see it now, it got hung up, by a rope .

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. I C now.

I thought this looked kinda fun, I flushcut the stump of three birches that was growing together and turned it upside down. Will see if I can do something with it, if it dries without too many cracks...

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool. Looks like puzzle pieces

Looks like some of the Osage I have been cutting.

 

[JimBear]

A nice solid Osage, 28” bar on my 661 :




Then this turned into this :

Going to pick up the root ball ( we have a vertical turret lathe big enough to turn it into a giant bowl) and some of the rest of that Osage I cut up tomorrow…and the neighbors have like 4-5 more dead ones I will ask about.

@JimBear that stump would be cool to mill...

I am not sure it would be worth it all those off shoots often make a lot of creases & cracks.

It will most likely look like that other butt end I showed. BUT I have several like that I can cut one & use the chain sawmill to see what it looks like.

 

[chipper1]

Dropped these, then flush cut them all, lost a lot of cutter length!
