The grain in that is pretty good - is that on a south/southwest facing slope? We cut some second growth in the north-south oriented draws up above Shively creek that was just dandy.

Yeah pretty nice timber.
It is on the northeast side of the slope

It has been logged before. It is the second crop of timber being harvested on that ground.

As someone who mills, thank you for not having 3’ of fiber pull.

Sometimes it is necessary to pull more wood on the hinge to save more of the tree out so there is more wood to mill from the tree. Sometimes you don't just depends on the situation

There’s a nice little bluff in this cable thinning. And a flat in the bottom was nice for a day.

Do they have lift over that, or do they have to use supports?

They are using supports for some of it.

Today, I dropped a big dead Ash at my Brother's place with my MOFO 460 (28" B+C). The 460 did great, but hit some metal while bucking, so I broke out my MOFO 462 with the 24" B+C.

My brother had been pretty impressed with the Asian 660 I had built for him (Cross P+C, no port work) as it easily out powers his MS-460 (Muff Mod and Timing Adv).

Then he ran my MOFO 460 and said "This is just as strong as my 660 and far less weight". Then he ran my MOFO 462 and it was over.

"What is not to like, this saw is so light"

"I really like this saw"

"I should sell my 460 and get one of these"

The 462 does not have the grunt of the ported 460 or the 660, but it is fast, light and smooth and even with the 24" bar completely buried in hard/dead Ash if you keep that saw in it's power band it just goes through it like butter!

After my Brother and I were done cutting we sat next to his Coy pond on the Hickory bench I made for him and had a beer, and I got to meet Mr. Green.

Seems that Mr. Green lives in the Coy pond, and visits with my Brother every time (for the last month) that he sits on that bench. He even tried to follow him into the house one time, going up several stairs!

I have heard of this type of behavior from several mammals, but never before from a Frog!

I got to cut some nicer trees on Friday. Nice change of pace from the hollow/rotten or low grade garbage I cut the prior week.

Nice Mason. Nice straight sticks there

Emerald Ash Borer. I have nervous jitters every time I drive through Waterloo/Cedar Falls and see literally hundreds of trees that need to be removed. So many trees, so little time...
