Our christmas parade coming through this year....one karate school was coming  through
Breaking boards along the way...and aside from the little kids doing it...ya big deal, I stomp thicker slabs in two...well...these three teenagers roll through....one holding a board climbas onto the shoulders of the second...holds the board about eight feet up....the third young man stood in front of them flat footed...did a stamding back flip and broke the board with his foot.
I wanted to ask if he wanted a job pruning trees....impressive!

What did you quote them if its not a rude question Mate ??? as there is alot of work in them when you take into account the sawing (Dressing if you are doing it ?) and Docking and handling thats why I came up with the $1.20 each  ;) and you will also find alot of the time some are used in practice but alot are used in tornaments so the cost is covered by the fee the school charges for the night Mate ;):)

edit  ;) Mooney you boys might need to get into the firewood bundler business Mate ;)

Or Dave you could tell them to keep the scrap and you will get rid of it for free when you deliver the next lot  ;) nothing like getting payed for it twice Mate ;) :D :D :D :D ;D 8)

When I was laughing at him under my breath.....the thought went through my head to slip a piece of Sweet Gum in on him.  8)

Surely one of you is going to tell this guy what a jerk he is...right???

Sorry Tea_Dog, I can't help it, I think about funny stuff all the time. Keeps me going......and I don't get tired.
 :D :D :D :D :D     Welcom to the Forum!

Nah, I'm sorry, I was grumpy when I read it.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, Tdawg.  How about sharing an introduction with us.

Thanks Magicman. I run a little contracting company doing just about anything I can get paid for ;D ;D (renovations, home repairs, welding, landscaping, running my skid steer, etc.). I do quite a bit of tree work and I have sold firewood on and off for years. I'm looking at buying a 35 acre bush lot, which eventually would be a home site but for now I would like to do a bit of harvesting. Since I prefer working in the bush to just about anything, I'm thinking I could ramp up the firewood sales and maybe add a sawmill to my list of business activities. If it worked out, I could phase out the work that I don't really care for. At this point in life and going forward, I'd much rather get paid for doing what I want to do as opposed to what I HAVE to do.

There's a lot of difference between a 3/4 inch dry pine board and a 1-inch green one.

I'm not a karate student, but was at an event where we broke a pine 1 x 12. We got really pumped up, and my problem was not breaking the board, it was hitting the porch AFTER breaking the board. THAT hurt!

I dont think slipping some sweet gum into the mix would be good for YOUR health.  It is a Karate School after all. :D

While I usually agree with this. I can't wait for it to get really cold and stay cold until spring. One thing I hate worse than cold and snow is MUD! It just has not stopped raining since late last summer.  The ground is so saturated that it can't take anymore.
I wonder how really pitchy pine would do?

Good question EAST....if your referring to the cold weather and pitchy pine, I'm not familiar with how it acts in N.Y. But last Feb. I sawed some extremely pitchy LONG LEAF PINE and it gummed up everything on the saw. Spent about 10 minutes every hour cleaning it all out of the blade wheels, sawdust chute, etc.

We're used to MUD.....it's ICE storms that hurt us!
