I grab the footage. Esp in walnut and cherry. I've bored the entire tree out from the low dirt side of the tree and had my saw vertical at ground level cutting the spurs on the high dirt side of the tree. The entire bar up to the dogs in the wood cutting down to meet the bore cut. You do a great job. Keep up the great cutting!!! Stay safe out there.
That's an interesting way to cut a tree and a great way to preserve the interesting grain often found in the stump. Do you find that your chain is fairly dulled out after plunging it into the ground like that?
Our trees are real dirty where I cut. Cant keep a full chisel sharp. Started running semi chisel and have a lot better luck. That all changed as our recent cold spell hit. The longer it stayed cold the faster the chain dulls. After a few days of single digits I couldn't even get one tree bore cut on one sharpening. Now that they are thawing back out its starting to cut better. Bucking logs yesterday I could instantly tell when I hit frozen vs non frozen wood. Inch and a half ribbons vs powder coming out. I have had several guys say frozen wood makes no difference. But my little experience with it is 100% opposite. Wondering what your thoughts are on it?
A semi chisel chain does keep cutting longer in dirty situations. As for frozen wood I don't think that matters, it is more the dirt on or around the tree. After skidding the logs this usually makes things worse. A tiny bit of dirt with sand or rock in it will full a chain super fast.
It’s Root’s, as in Root like boot not root like foot!, either that or root root for for the home team!! ( please enunciate, your to good of a logger to be that lazy when you speak) otherwise I must complement you on your ability to salvage wood in the manner you do!!
