It's a verified 300 years old walnut tree, needs a bit of trim. Talk to me about HARD WOOD

I hand filed at 20 degrees nad kept rackers a high as new to be able to cut, my ordinary razor filed chain for fresh wood could not overcome the wood destroyed in seconds

Interesting. Walnut over here in the States is soft.

I don't have the opportunity to post some videos to see the tree and wood

It was stronger than steel, in my bigger cuts I completely throw down an ms400 and went with ms500 also stopped and finally used my masterminded 661 that i had with 404 chain

That would make no sense for walnut here. Walnut is easy cutting in my area; other than the dust and the smell.

Since my videos are at usual social media and not youtubed I cannot post them here

However i made screenshot for my friends here to see how dry and hard the wood is after the cut.
Again i mention the tree is more than 300 years old.

Had to climb a Pine tree, that the strong winds cut the roots and it was actually holding in the air

Tree was inside a Legendary Summer Club that is about to open for summer season

Well there is a first time for everything
It was fun

Again i can't post the videos

I be cutting a few tables for a friend from the pine tree i did
Time to use the 36 inch, i hand filled the chain

Now remains which 064 of all i m gonna use

 

[Evansaw]

It was a tough decision to grab it from the shelf and start this specific 064

Well I changed the Maxflow cause I wanted to keep it clean

I m in love with this 064 but today I run it with 36 bar

And also used the factory RMX which is 10 degrees

Well it rips

When it dries out it can be pretty hard. I’ve cut a few that were like rocks. The knots are especially bad.
