Showing you guys want is being done with some of the cookies from the mini mass GTG. He wants more... yes I have an excuse to cut more cookies from the logs Dan brought!

I would also like to get my stock Husqvarna 345 on the dyno for some before numbers. THEN, after it gets ported. For comparison numbers.

Nice work! What a talent.

Interesting growth rings!

I'd like to get this MS440 on the dyno!

Bill is working on a hydraulic setup for it. Once it's working we can do another mini GTG.

Eric, that is great stuff, who does that?

FYI, I counted the rings on the big (40+") Red Oak I cut last year and got 115 years old. Looks like a lot of years in this tree also.

I did the website for a friend of my Derek who is his own full time tree service http://carlsontreeserviceinc.com
A woman locally in the area submitted feedback on the site looking for a hollowed out log to make a model treehouse (doll house size) out of it.
She had been looking on facebook and the like for like 6 months.

I cut a piece off one of the logs Dan brought and hollowed out with several plunge cuts (just wanted to try for the challenge).
I gave her the result -- she was psyched.

Her husband was interested in some of the discs -- he sands them and burns in art. I think one his friends makes clocks out of them.
I gave him some of the cookies left over from the mass mini GTG.
Also a friend of mine is using several cookies as place settings and decor his fiancee wanted for their wedding. Gave a bunch of cookies to him.

There is definitely a market for these cookies -- if you search for rustic wedding wood discs you will find all kinds of people selling GTG cookies!

Lemme grab my phone I'll post some pictures of the hollowed out log.

I wish I had known. I cut down a large bkack walnut with the entire center eaten by carpenter ants. Would have been perfect for her artwork.

Oh -- and Ed texted me last night he will be back and offering some $$$ for some more cookies!
He'll be by on Sunday and we'll be cutting whatever cookies he's looking for.

His wife who used the hollowed log mentioned as a thank you for all of this I think they will be giving me a finished clock made out of one of the cookies.
The tree rings on that log Dan brought are way cool -- it's not a ton of firewood so I'm happy to cut a bunch of cookies! Maybe I should invite some friends over to cut many more cookies with many different saws... hmmm.

I'm going to be on the lookout when I do tree jobs w/ my brother and will start saving sections of hollowed out logs.
We cut up a huge willow that fell in blow down because the whole bottom section was hollow eaten by bugs for a long time.

You can't be too far from me -- next mini GTG for dyno work I'll make sure you and the guys nearby know about it!

 

[RI Chevy]

Certainly, thanks

 

[paragonbuilder]

That's pretty awesome Eric!

Eric, if he wants large Oak cookies, let me know. I can make several 40" + rounds, and have some where the fork starts that are wider (large oval). I already have a request for a 3" thick piece for a table top. I have not converted the large rounds to firewood yet.

This stuff is still available.

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow. Big piece Mike! Looks real good too.

 

[jmssaws]

I have 700 acres that is covered with cookies. Thousands of them
