My turn, introduction

[roys]

Hi folks, been reading on here for a while now, looks like a good forum so time to come out of the cold:001_smile:

I bought a smallish woodland about 10 years ago, bit neglected, consisting of mainly sycamore, birch, goat willow and some ash. I spend a lot of my time now pottering in the woods as I love it. Got tons and tons of rhododendron which is my never ending battle of pulling out. I also chainsaw and split and dry out mainly the wind fall trees to feed my log burner.

I have had no formal training in the use of my saws so I would probably make most of you cringe if you saw me:biggrin: although I like to think I have a sensible head when needs must.

Used Rob on here for supplying chainsaw bars and chains for me, what a helpful bloke.

Look forward to being educated on here some more.

Hi and welcome . Before any one bleats on about training PPE etc if you have been at it for 10 years you must know what you are doing . Wish I had my own woodland ! Talk to the Village Idiot ( thats his user name ) he has a wood he manages .

Welcome on board mate.As you probably know its a great place for learning and chatting to like minded folk

It is a great place to learn, I've only been a member for 1 day and already learnt more about engines and bar lengths.

Certainly a wealth of info on here and a helpful friendly forum.

When I was in the woods this morning I went of my usual route and found a variety of tree I didn't know I had, Sessile Oak, I have probably walked past in the past just never noticed it, probably because it still has leaves on it where the rest have mostly fallen.

Going to try and post a random picture just to see if I can, it is just a picture of some of my logs drying.

Yip think that worked:001_smile:

Hi ROY welcome to the best forum on the net I see some larger logs there on pellet your better off split them up ROY as they seasoned faster thanks Jon

I try to keep a few chunky ones in each load for the ones I put in the wood burner before I go to bed, sometimes I am even left with a few glowing embers in the morning.

Thanks for the tip though.
