Cutting Oak Braces With A Chainsaw

Cutting Oak Braces With A Chainsaw

This last summer while I was trying to burn loads of wood for bio-char for the garden they issued a no burn notice for the entire state as a result of Covid (WuFlu). I planted the garden instead and am finishing the carbon burns this year. That gave me time to learn how to make lumber with a chain saw. I also learned how to make bowls spoons etc. Those were mostly made out of a Cherry tree that was making idle threats towards my truck. I'll be doing more of that as time passes though. The items I made of Cherry are named ‘The Covid Collection’. If you were wondering. You can go back and see them at this link. If you read the description you’ll see how lazy I was. I pretty much cut and pasted my original words. Especially the links. Here’s the one to the original video this is from.
