    Should've brought that 6' oak log to Matt Cremona.
    His home made bandsaw mill would've cut some great slabs worth a lot of cash.

  • @george8873
    @george8873 4 года назад +1

    Logs that big allows you to cut table top sized slabs 2 or 3 inches thick that are worth hundreds of dollars each, maybe even more if the grain patterns are amazing. You need a big ass sawmill though, lol. Anyway, was wondering if you'd rip out that other stump when I first seen it. And you did. You're a nice guy Chris.

    Man that's a nice looking KW.We had a huge white oak that luckily got cut down before it could fall on the house.You can pretty much guarantee one thing depends how a tree falls on a house even after repairs it will never be same because of the impact to the foundation.

  • @jbbuzzable
    @jbbuzzable 4 года назад +4

    I remember a big cottonwood stump. The tree had been felled, with 3 ft. remaining. The customer wanted it cut as close to the ground as possible. My 36" inch bar reached the middle with maybe a 1/2 " to spare. I worked my way around the stump and met up exactly with my starting cut. The stump fell straight down and pinched the bar, with no remaining uncut wood. I was pretty experienced, but nobody is that good.

    How lucky was it that it fell in that direction. I had nearly all of the large trees in my yard taken down when lightning hit one in the front of my house and dropped a massive branch in the middle of the road in a storm. It took eight of us to clear it all, in the storm, thankfully my neighbors chainsaw was was much better, and sharper, than mine.

    I have a firm belief once you get all the quirks out of the Orange Hitachi someone will be highly interested in buying it from you with a little more cash in hand. I see a trend, another Volvo will fall into the market and you are going to grab it, just you wait. It's good to see someone who takes initiative and rebuilds something that still has worth.
