2 healthy coyotes on our walk today. We heard them miles away as they were howling. They did not care for the dog and me.

Client's cherry log that's been rotting for a couple years

I have been using mine quite a bit. Reg'd promo/tutorial videos were useful. I dedicated my rope wrench to it and a 50ft line

Thanks. I have a slightly used Drenaline that is the perfect candidate.

@Tommy_B Do you use a wire/long steel rod fid for the drenaline? I have been watching the splicing vids and all it seems to need is patience and a 50cm or longer wire fid

Warm enough for the mill today. Some cedar I fell a few months ago. The client wants raised beds on posts.

Getting to sit at the same table and hear Cory's stories live was a privilege. I am sure we could get some serious work done. Now let's get this cold and nasty weather behind us and get some treework done!

The picture should be posted shortly but I met @cory today. It was awesome.

Yes. I quartered with a wedge and maul and then the long and skinny Fiskars.

yesterday's workout.

Latest one. The main struggle is getting the core out of the cover without too much distorsion.

The Samson video does not mention a stitch, the written instructions mention lock stitching. What are the opinions out there?

It is cold and windy so I ordered a fid and practiced while the wind was howling. I am following the Samsin guide for double braid class 1 splice.

slow going but the new one is in. The bottom of the bell housing is also an engine mounting point to the chassis of the chipper.

This arrived today. Of course temperatures are going to drop below freezing most of next week.

@MatthewMMeckley Thanks for sharing!

@cory we separated the brush from logs and left a path behind the fence. This way people can buck and haul away. In these situations we try to leave the site as convenient as possible in case we get a call later to clean up.

Wood stays onsite. The oak scavengers will be busy

Derby. We are at 50% which suits us fine given the temperatures. Expectations are low between December and February so anything that shows up is welcome. I have a new engine coming for the chipper next week so the prep is keeping me busy.

Finished this oak this morning. Glad it is over. It had lost its central leader in a storm. Quite a back lean so we used the GRCS from a tree far far way.
