Sycamore is good also.

If the sleepers are heartwood I think they stand a better chance green as opposed to green sap wood. Dense timber, lots of tannins. Air dried heartwood oak would be best. But also dependent on the soil type the timber is going into, bog oak can last thousands of years.

Big beech. Chain just wasn’t right today but got through it.

M7 and B751 are great. M880. With the superskip it’s very easy on everything including operator. There’s not a whole lot in it BUT it was interesting listening to everyone talking in one of the other threads about breaking down large timber for center slabs. This is what these do so it can make sense at a particular scale of biz. 2 people and some home fabricated engineering means you can handle this big timber. The alternatives are extremely expensive (well to me!) from cutting to handling. From your perspective think how much big (quality)timber you come across. That dictates a lot.

Cuts wide timber [emoji3] seriously though it’s good in terms of being able to quickly pick your cutting plane so you can break down timber accurately. As with everything the right chain makes the job. The set up in the pick will cut 50 inches. Cutting a very large beech on Friday and I’ll post a pic. It’s stable but needs the hammer in pins along the rails. The channel on the ends sits on a piece of angle so we have various sizes of wooden spacers that you use to measure how far to drop the angle and in turn your next cut. So once you get your first cutting plane then level both sides you can just use the spacers unless your doing something funky! I’m not particularly good at this “writing up” so if you have a question please feel free. (I’ve used pretty much all the Logosol gear but no other brands so I’m clueless in regards comparison)

Haven’t seen that before but it’s class. A lot of firewood though!

130/square foot? Or cubic

Fair enough. Perhaps promote through educating (which has been said previously on Arbtalk many times) beau do you find many of your customers (firewood) resentful(resentful maybe too strong a word) I’m not being funny, I found that the difference between customers attitude in general buying planks and firewood night and day for the most part. Is this because they’re burning what they buy psychologically. I always got a kinda happy comforting feeling out of a nice pile of good firewood.

I understand your point but does the fuel stock being sustainable and locally sourced not come into an equation in this. Low transport, income helps long term CFC management etc etc. also having a stove in an urban environment that has the infrastructure to use a cleaner alternative vs people living rurally is not on par in a decision on promotion To summarize Open fires are balls Location of stove rural vs urban Fuel stock source, nearby and aiding CFC or replantation I’ll stick my chairmen mao hat on!

Nice chunk of a section of beech to be dissected.

316 will work but wouldn’t take a whole lot more particularly if it’s going to be near direct flames

Old school carbon capture.
