Today's haul

[the crafty weasel]

Finally managed to get into the fields to cut up and collect the stuff that I felled last Saturday. Another two trailer loads to add to the stack, plus some nice straight ash for gatemaking. Next comes the job I hate the most, stacking it in the main pile.

Im trusting you have a saw bench.

Got a sawbench, but it only handles up to 3" dia

 

what we tend to do is clamp the lengths in the logsplitter behind the tractor and cut with a chainsaw. With one person sawing and another carrying, we soon make our way through the pile. I'm faster using the saw than I would be using a sawbench, I'm just way too nervous around them.

 

Smaller diameters, say below 2", we cut using the logsplitter if it's for our own use (cut ends look a bit untidy).
