The lady next door to me had a bunch of smaller trees cut down in her backyard and said I was welcome to the wood. They're pretty small <12" in diameter but all hardwood and only a few hundred yards away, so why not. I am brand new to chainsawing so it also gives me a chance to practice on smaller stuff.
Yesterday I took off all the limbs and dragged the trunks back over to my place to cut them up. The little Oliver crawler hardly flinched with four logs in tow... need to get some more chains! Also need to make a log sled one day so they don't get so dirty dragging them.
Out in the forest:
Dragged back home:
Mostly cut up... will slit and stack over the next few days and add to my meager but growing wood supply.
What is this one? It was hard to cut.
