Also ran their husky 572 for a few logs. Checked prices and decided I'd have to be satisfied with just the hookaroon.

Who is cutting wood?
Plunge cut to establish the hinge?
IMO, I think grange made a good decision.

With the new hookaroon and sawbuck I'm making pretty quick work of some beetle kill that our friends dropped off in the driveway after they logged the neighbor's property. Every time I do actual work up here at 10k I'm reminded of how much harder it is than working at home at 5k.

Now that the tree is gone you'd better get going raking your forest! That looks like a good tree to have gone.

Hopefully the only raking I’ll need to do is for control lines in the late fall .

I agree. I learned a lot and continue to learn from the bc fallers training.

With a respite from the heat comes the stacking.

Noodling and processing
The foreground is recently felled black oak. I’m noodling to get manageable sizes to load into my trailer to redeposit at a better spot on the property for seasoning. Will do similar with the seasoned black oak in the midground.
Figured out last night that my bigger saw has some sort of air leak. Even with fresh carb kit, it was misbehaving a lot at idle. Was also getting floater random baby sparks at full throttle when cutting coming out from what appeared to be the clutch area.

Had a good three days of cutting wood in the Chequamegon-Nicolet national forest for the winter. All three loads are at least 85% oak with the remainder being maple. I started splitting this afternoon with an eight pound splitting maul. I may try to get another load if I find time between grouse hunts with my dog.

I was splitting a white oak limb that I trimmed off a tree by my house this past winter and was surprised on how stringy it was. I'm used to splitting red oak and it usually splits fairly cleanly, but white oak is a pain.

Splitting the white and red oak when it’s green or dried?
-

Red oak usually splits cleanly wet or dry. If it is wet it can be a little stringy in the knotty areas, but nothing like white oak. The white oak was only partially dry. It was cut in links and stacked in February, but not split. It would likely need another 4-6 months once split to be dry enough for my fireplace.

California black oak is supposed to split cleanly when it’s wet. I haven’t experienced that,?though, cuz I never get around to splitting it until it’s dry. Sometimes my sharp splitting axe will barely pierce it. Sometimes it’s even stringy when dry and I’m using a big splitter.

I’ve been under the impression that the E-splitters don’t have the power to split the big hardwood. Maybe I’m wrong? The gas hydraulic splitters that i rent are vertical and sometimes take a few compressions(?) to get through the rounds.
That Beranek book is great! I’m pretty sure YouTube told me to watch video several years ago ….

Any reason not to consider the $329 harbor freight electric splitter for breaking down beetle kill pine?

Duno, I used an electric 6 ton at a ski hut and it split every thing which would be green softwood maybe up to 18" , sometimes I had to take a couple of trys, it was horizontal action screwed to a post in the shed, its good to get them up off the ground at about waist level IME
it seemed cheap & reliable, they come on sale locally once or twice a yearLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know
