No, not that kind but I do remember them as a kid! Got around to milling the cherry log I fell about 3 weeks ago. It was just too nice to buck into firewood. Put the 28” bar on the 394. Full comp, full chisel square ground chain to firewood angles. Had to buy a new 2x6 to make the first cut. Loaned my aluminum ladder out and haven’t gotten it back.
Thick ones are 2”, then I wanted to cut some at 1” but my sight was off and cut one at 3/4”. Made the correction and finished at 1”.
Used 3 loops of chain, one being Stihl. That one really left a nasty finish. Not sure why at this point. Quite a mound of dust. Leaf blower for reference. I spread it in the garden. Then got a call from a client, had to go back into work so I hauled these to the shop for sticker stacking. Stood one up against the truck for size reference. I usually get a decent finish so it was disappointing to see that one loop do so bad. Should smell up the shop nice for a while.
You mill up some nice slabs Jason. Air fresheners...FHC style! Gotta mill some chestnut oak. Love the aroma from that.
You have chestnut oak up for slabs? I have milled it and it smells great! That's what I made my sons work bench from.
Oops, forgot about that. Remember the bench just didn't realize it was CO. Whats on your milling bucket list?
Oak is no joke! Honestly it was a nice cherry log! I've had walnut, CO, apple, ash, maple, cherry, black gum, poplar, honey locust and several conifers. Hmm, what's left that I'd want boards from? I guess it would be really neat to cut some 1/4 sawn sycamore. I've used it wood working and love the look.
