A coworker tipped me off to a piece of property with a long, wooded driveway/walking path. He knew the owners and I was able to get permission to take what I wanted, as long as it was already down. My coworker spoke of "downed trees as far as the eye can see." Naturally I was excited.
I got to break in my new (used) toy today. Worked out like a champ!
I arrived to find that 90% of the downed trees were pine. I'm not picky, but I took some time to single out two good lay-downs to work on for the day. The saw was terrific... only pinched the blade twice. Here is a shot of the score for the day:
The foreground is what I got today, background I got last year and was too wet to split by hand.
So these are two samples of what I got. I think the first tree I worked on is pine, but I'm not sure:
This is what the bulk of what I got is. Smells bad, most of the bark came off (since it had been down for a while). Green on the inside with a distinct ring of blue, then yellow. Any thoughts?
Already starting for next year. Thanks for playing!
