Wooooaaah. Upside down barber chair of death. Makes me think about education (learning from other’s experience) vs. personal experience…I think one needs both.
@SeanKroll that stuff can be the devil! It’s pretty when milled. Salt Cedar/Athel Tree (Tamarix Aphylla) demo fun. - https://opeforum.com/threads/salt-cedar-athel-tree-tamarix-aphylla-demo-fun.23211/
Everything gets hard as nails down here in the desert once it’s dead.
These aspens in the AZ mountains are from a fire around a decade ago. They are preserved and still being cut for firewood. If not kiln dried, they rot in a year.
I meant to include this vid though it doesn’t show the actual event. Some of the limbs were cracked and twisted from hitting the ground. 6” limbs and my 7900 didn’t want to go through them, even after being cut loose from the tree so there wasn’t tension on them…I was nonplussed for a second...
Beating the dead horse…In my relatively limited experience, cracked and twisted/tensioned wood can be real weird to cut. Like a dry palm…the fibers flex and grab the bar and chain on the upper “non cutting” direction and prevent the saw from proceeding through the wood.
