MASSIVE CHAINSAW CUTTING on HONEY LOCUST!

Good Morning Chris, Great Husky Show. Biscuits and Gravy Baby😂👏🪵👍🏼

Hi Chris, just a note on wood density. Honey locust= 670 kg/ cubic metre (dry) Kanuka (NZ native)757 kg/cubic metre (dry) Puriri (NZ native)1105kg/cubic metre (dry). I've burnt all of these and they are exceptional. They are also getting rare,so pine's fine by me. Cheers from HB NZ. Good video again, thanks mate.

Locust splits easy with an axe or a maul. That's how I remember it when I was 25. Might not be so easy at my now 49yrs of age.

Chris, I wondered if that Honey locust makes you want to fry up some pancakes hahaha. You should have invited Ken down. He would sharpen those sods with that file. You would have no trouble hahaha. Thanks for the video Kenny from Western North Carolina

Great content. Honey locust is very heavy. It dries fast and splits great

Nice cutting. I think firewood is more workout than I get. I remember back in the day helping Dad get firewood. Tough job.

Nice work! 👍🏻👍🏻GNI

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Nice job buddy!!😀😀👍👍

Nice video Chris. Working with honey locust will for sure make a man out of you and test your saw and chains. I have noodled lots of it. Hybrid yard trees are thornless usually, but so heavy. A new chain with factory rakers helps cut down the chatter. I use a couple of half rounds (laying flat) to stack the rounds on while noodling to keep from hitting the ground. Worth the effort, my little shop stove will burn all morning with just one charge of the stuff. GNI

Chris,another awesome chainsaw project 👍😮😊❤

Good Morning Chris 🌞 it is a beautiful day here in New Hampshire and Maine and I am going to go out on my Yamaha wolverine side-by-side today and go up and fish some mountains streams and ponds for native Brooktrout love it. I know it’s going to be a good day low humidity and in the mid 70s.

I had to look up the differences in honey locust and black locust because we don't have honey locust where I live. Black locust grows all over the place. We never had to buy fence post, we just harvested black locust that were around 5" in diameter which usually resulted in 2-3 posts. We used locust for firewood but oddly very few of our neighbors did. We mixed it in with our wood for making maple syrup too. You just had to be careful how much you used or you could warp your pan.

I lost a bet on locust tree ID years ago. I looked it up in my trees of Missouri book. The honey locust has a thin bark, dark heartwood and the long thorns that start out green and turn reddish black . They will be really sore if you get poked close to a joint. The black locust has a honey colored heartwood , thorns are usually very short and only on the branches, and I have found the bark can get up to 2 inches thick. This wood was reportedly used a lot for pegs in post frame barns because the wood doesn’t shrink as it dries. I like to learn about trees so feel free give opinions if you have different ideas.

Nice work on the locust Chris. Another year, it would have been a bigger struggle.

G’morning Chris. Heapage of carnage. Most best cutting. She cuts !! GoodNightIrene

That sure was some heavy,dense wood. I do worry about you lifting large,& heavy pieces. However, knowing you are aware, you’ll be more careful. Very productive day, see you tomorrow.💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Man, this is deja vu for real from last year. Huge honey locust, some rounds I noodled into 8 pieces but with a 572XP G. That was one of the days that led me to buy a splitter with a log lift. 😅 Both the bark and the flesh are unforgiving. A little scratch from honey locust can go deep!

I run into some month ago. Free said was spruce. I didn’t know what was till week ago. Definitely a score in my area of cotton wood and pine. I hear good smoker wood. Going to try some this weekend. Nice work.

I'm glad you decided to segregate your locust prised fire wood. The saplings about 3 4 inches in diameter are highly prized fence post

Hi Chris its my Anniversary to day First of July 54 Years together again Love at First Sight ( Ty Ron Happy Canada everyone good video Chris
