Cherry Split tonight.

[thewoodlands]

I decided to split three loads of cherry that I brought out on Sunday, the first two loads the rain was light then I came in to eat thats when it started pouring but decided to finish what I started after I ate. I hope to get the area ready wednesday for stacking.

Picture 100_0922 is when I started then the rest is after I finished.

Smokin I had to stop at the local stihl dealer tonight and he had one 660 in stock, it's a big investment I'm not sure if I'll do it.

How big of a saw do you need to mill cherry logs that size?

If you can work with wood or have the tools its not a bad investment...My father has been in the bushiness for over 50 years so sale it of making something out of it is easy enough... Without that I would not have done it. Oh and just the amount of nice tree that we find!

I'm not sure but my local shop told me I would melt the 390, he did say the 660 would handle it. I guess from what they told me the milling is real tough on the saw.

If done with the right saw and run an aux oil-er its all good. That bar can get really hot it will boil the veggie oil coming out of the aux oil-er.
