Got some wood today - mostly trees the township pushed over with a loader!? - another story.
It's the first time I cut Hickory and I'll tell you this brand of it is harder than Black Locust!
My saw went dull pretty quickly - it didn't start off too sharp anyway. I do all sorts of handy things: plumbing, electrical, build hearths, hang doors......But, I've never sharpened a chain before. I always take it to a guy who charges $5 each. So today I watched a few videos on the subject on Youtube and tried it. It was very easy and I was able to get back to that Hickory. So I'd encourage anyone who hasn't tried it yet to do so, it's easy to do.
The only wood I was able to get was some: Black Locust, Whatever Hickory, Sugar Maple and Red Oak. I keep trying to find some soft wood, but it just isn't here!
That's Maiden in the last shot inspecting the Locust trunk.
