More than wood chip but it depends on species and size quality etc. [emoji106]

I've worked for a guy who's been in business decades. He got a call one day from a lady asking why the phone number on his business card was different to the one on his website. As his men were outside and about to start work. At the other end of the country... These "guys" had shown the lady my mates website and said it was there's. Phone the police they are going to rob you, was my mates reply. Yeah it happens. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

No, but by some incredible fluke he missed all the tendons and clever stuff (you could put your finger in the hole without touching the sides) and it looked like a small scar a few weeks later. Then he moved to Amsterdam. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] -
The 500i was promoted with the phrase weight of a 70cc cuts like a 90cc. It's neither. Don't misunderstand me, it's a cracking powerful saw, just doesn't live up to the hype. If you actually want a saw that weighs like a 70cc and cuts like a 90cc. Buy a 461/72 and send it to spud. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Good stuff Stere [emoji106]

Interesting article which will be read by many climbers and then totally ignored. I work with climbers all over the country and one handing is the norm. As a ground based saw user, I can't understand why anyone would use one. Even in a tree. I'm now refraining from posting the photo of my mates arm after the top handled saw flipped and the tip bored through his forearm. He was very lucky. Kept the arm. Stay safe.

It's an 80cc saw that cuts like an 80cc saw. [emoji106]

You can dry green timber, But only in a vacuum kiln. Still takes a while though. [emoji106] -

Got to 2nd site, there's a car parked where we were previously working. Suddenly several cars and vans appear with guys with automatic weapons. Training exercise. Phew [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji10

I cut big slabs at 3-6" thickness, depending on species and grain. 2" thick is often not enough cohesion when your board weighs 250kg+ Literally it might break under its own weight. [emoji106] -
Could take the timber if it's in long lengths. Huddersfield 07376803384 Saul

Good looking logs mate, Mill em, stack em, then you've got a few years to decide what to do with them. [emoji106]

These were made from this beech and the turkey oak, This will become a coffee table soon [emoji106]

I agree completely with the "if I fell the ash tree". That would be the only time I'd mill ash. Shame as the oatmeal colour is rather nice and it's damn strong stuff. I have had issues cross cutting seasoned beech with wonky. Thought our saws were cutting slow. [emoji848][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Interesting, I cut beech regularly and haven't had a problem. Ash, nightmare. [emoji106]
