processing pine? lol.
My BIL had a good sized pine that had been vertically drying since well before he bought the house last year. The offending evergreen was not only threatening his fence and garage, it posed danger to his neighbor's home as well. A good friend of mine showed up with the rigging gear so we could get this one down safely. Tree was rigged via a block anchored to a stump in the weeds and tied off to my truck with some tension on the line. After I started the back cut I set a couple wedges just for good measure and finished her off.
20" Bar on my 034AV just barely peeked out the other side of the back cut. That's my buddy's MS361 sitting on the stump in the photo.
We dropped, limbed, and split that tree Sunday afternoon. Only a little bit of yard cleanup left, mostly splitter trash and sawdust.
My BIL is a fellow burner, Avalon Olympic insert in the basement. He plans to burn this stuff in the firepit and for shoulder season. Got a whole mess of bonfire poles too!
Sorry about there being 4 vids, skip to #4 for the good part.
