Trees you've cut

Who needs a face cut?

“Stump jumping” veneer walnut. I’ve never had to do it since there isn’t a lot of it around here. Nor have I felt the need since our other “methods” cut veneer hardwoods with good efficiency.

I've never been to Ireland, but I imagine it's a lot like Wales, which was nice. We lived in Cambridgeshire for three years in a large subdivision in Huntingdon. It was pretty cool to live abroad as a teenager and I learned a lot. Those photos basically look like what I've been seeing for the past five days here in Maine on the coast. That being said, I would never live in the UK full time. I found the opposite to be true about dealing with most people in the UK. When I was 15 I was accused of having a knife on my person and then threatened to a strip search by some fat old cop in a Peterborough shopping mall. The "knife" was actually a kids toy from a McDonald's happy meal. Perhaps the countryside is different, but being a small island there isn't much countryside. Rural life is the same in every country, and so is urban life.

I have spent a lot of time in the UK and you summed it up pretty good right there. Everyone is super tense and acts like they are driven by a motor, no time to slow down and smell the fresh air.
Ireland looks like the UK but the people are quite different, and there are less of them. You will often see two tractors stopped on a road with the drivers having a chat.

Been cutting some ground-base stuff the past couple days. 500i with a 32” bar is doing very well.

Do you ever come across any of the old growth stumps?

 

[SpaceBus]

Sure they are, they are just harder to do all the time (as opposed to the traditional notch) because gravity is working against you instead of for you.

As such, I only use them when I think they are necessary.

It's also hard to make any notch when my wife really cranks out the preload We used to do it where I would make the notch then she would preload, but too many sick, rotten, and otherwise unpredictable trees in the woods. Now we load up the the tree before making any cuts, just in case it uproots or breaks unexpectedly.

Also, I do Humboldt cuts just to leave more useable wood on the log instead of on the stump, which I always grind down anyway.

All the time. Here’s a couple.

Very cool. Looks like that first one had a cable wrapped around it once upon a time.

From the second stump I can have enough firewood for two years

Good luck cutting it out of those rocks.

We came out of this one smokey and dirty but it's all good for us, a lot of our neighbors are not so lucky. In the background is the fire across the river and middle pinkish trees are where they stopped the fire. At 312,000 acres the creek fire is the largest single fire in Californias history, The Sierra national forest has lost its title of asbestos national forest. Out working on greatly increasing our 100ft fire clearance right now, shooting for 350 in back by winter.

 

[ManiacalMark]

Asbestos national forest?

 

[blacksmith]

A big dead oak that me and Scotty Overkill took down the other day.

My turn to climb.




I like this shot it looks like the branch is levitating off of the tree.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice. Just curious why you didn't just fall the tree?

 

[blacksmith]

Here's one that we did today. Two Norway spruces in between two houses. We had to rig out almost every branch on both tree's. They were about 80ft tall. The homeowner wanted us to leave 12 ft logs standing, he is having a chainsaw carver coming in to carve two German Shepherds. They are going to use the rest of the logs to make a bench betwthe two treethen they are going to put a roof over to protect everything. That will look cool!

We double teamed these two. These are the pictures that took of Scotty.

Wow. Not much room for any mistakes there. Nice job.
Be safe guys...[emoji106][emoji631]

They had a very nice yard with other oaks and hickory's close by it would've caused alot of damage and the only clear path that we would've had there was a new sewage line that was hust recently put in.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahhh. Very good. I figured there was some extenuating circumstances there.
