Good read. Thanks! I'm pretty sure there are some in Golden Gate Park. Some around Santa Rosa, too. But never known them by Lime.

Dead fir, broken dahlia. top at 18" diameter, 40" or so dbh.
Spikes started sinking badly 15' from the breakout. Left the remaining dead branches attached, and launched it.. Forest setting. Stripped some branches off a live fir on the way down. Not an issue.
Undercut COG and Magic Cuts, no pull lines.
No cleanup, just bucking into rounds.

What does it burn like?
I have never tried it.

Ok, not as good as other hardwoods, but ok.
Has about as much heat in it as a newspaper.
I don't bother with it as firewood.
Woodcarvers love it.
It is soft, yet has a good holding ability on details. ( Horse chestnut is soft, too, but the little details break off too easily)
So every time I take a good one down, it goes to my partner's mill and ends up with Sanne Seipelt, the premier woodcarver of Denmark and a friend.

Basswood was once used for our wooden pole saw poles. I still have a bundle around here somewhere.

quick video for training purposes because apparently most people lack common sense and don’t look up when working in the woods.
Don’t know why it posted the video twice

What happened to your leg up there? Looks like you sank to your nads in the swamp. Hope it was the beginning of the day. That way you have a chance to naturally clean off while working. Not much pisses me off more than spending a whole day staying relatively clean, then hitting a disaster right before quitting for the day :^S

I’d hazard a guess it was trapped water/leaf mould in a cavity in the tree ‘liberated’ by the saw.

I agree, an hollow trunk with an integrated swamp I guess. When you cut it, this delicious juice flows right on your pants.

Love the smell of the flowers. Makes a great tea. We visited friends in the south of Germany at the height of the Lime blossoms twice, and spent time just walking the old city streets breathing in their sweet fragrance.

Smells quite nice IMO. Just don’t park your nice car under them.

I love it when a full-wrap happens to have you backchaining into a flooded cavity.

Had a call at 330 from a customer.
Saturated, clay soil and wind.
4 trees just barely touched the house and fence, no damage.
1 tipped toward the house.
Got it quickly guyed back and sideways. Faced up and back cut.
4 remaining trees were heaving.
Dropped 3 without ropes, wedges and mini pushing them to the lay between the house and wires. Left the biggest of the group, a doug-fir, standing, and easy to throw line into. Set a pull rope and a 90* retainer line that I attached to my towing safety chain eyes on my hitch, using a bowline on a bight in order to have two loops.
Barely enough room to tension it, and have a decent line-angle.
Used my brake pedal presser, custom made.
Face-cut, bored back cut, wedges, retensioned the True Blue pull rope, and released it.
