Chase I miss you in class. The new group of students just sit there and stare. Cant get them involved in a discussion like you. You need to transfer back in.

Thanks Rob. Interesting that I have recently moved to Bremerton area and I have been cutting down some trees and clearing ones from the driveway that have fallen with a new Stihl Chain saw. I have begun the stacking process but only with the rounds - I have yet to do any splitting. The falling wedge tip would have been helpful a few days ago........I also am preparing to cut down a couple trees - much smaller than the one you dropped but hoping I can actually make it fall where I want to. I am having a tree service come out and give some advice and an estimate on doing some thinning, especially those that are quite tall and may be leaning or showing signs of disease. Do you have any questions I should be sure to ask? Thanks and I hope you continue the videos I have really enjoyed them.

Thanks for the kind words. If you are stacking alder in rounds they can rot over a winter of wet. If you split them and stack in the rain they don’t rot nearly as fast, not sure why. It is late enough in the rainy season they should t rot. They will cure much faster if split no matter what kind of wood. Sounds like your trees are in thick. This can be very frustrating in that you cut a tree and it gets caught up in the nearby trees before it gets enough moment or lean to push through neighboring branches. Now you have a cut tree standing upright. I end up pulling it down or recutting the bottom repeatedly until it breaks through. Not the safest situation. Good luck I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

I would transfer but I think they only allow horticulture for 1 semester

Would you want it again if I could work it out.
