Project 660

The spring on this one was broken in two. The grooves in the shoes are not too bad on this one. I figured it would be better to replace all 3 since the one had failed for $4 more.

I'm calling it walnut.

Missouri Green Walnut. Must be a hybrid. Yep that's it.

Do you stand the cylinder on "its head" and do the other side next?

That's a nice stick there!
This was a black walnut that came out of my back yard.

Yep. And brush a little too. Works good enough for me.

I'm gonna try that Purple power idea offered in another thread. If it works as good as they say -- I'll do the happy dance.

Whats the purpose of all the little cuts at the bottom of the logs?

 

[jmssaws]

Purple power is a great degreaser.
It's caustic though

 

[psuiewalsh]

I know some cleaners will turn the cylinders darker. Not sure if that is one.

Trim the flare off.

Trim the flare off.

Yup, easier to skid. And if it catches somthin hard it's less likely to split.

No 660s were harmed in forming this pile.

Three of those cuts were made while falling it.
