Chainsaw Gloat

[Lee Koepke]

This "NEED" cost twice as much as the little lathe that got me into this mess .. :D

I had to cut up that giant maple gloat a bit in order to get it into my neighbors woodmizer... not the first time I have used a chainsaw, but the first time I have used it for this purpose.

Its an 18" bar and wasnt big enough to get through the first cut. I cut out a couple of 8" bowl blanks and a 9" blank because its killing me to NOT have something spinning from this tree!

Yup, you definitely need one of those, money well spent.

Looks like quite the chainsaw! Should last you for a long time - so it is money well spent!

Sure is some pretty wood! Looking forward to seeing what you turn out of it!

I'm a big fan of Stihl. Congratulations.

[Steve Vaughan]

That's as purdy as a brand new lathe!

[Ken Hill]

Stihl...the only way to fly!

I've been trying to kill my piece of crap $25 yard sale Craftsman 16" for I don't know how long, and it just won't die!! I "NEED" one of those. Heck of a nice saw Lee, nice gloat. Yes, I'm damn jealous :D!

[Gary Max]

Lee, now you need to buy a lathe that cost 5 times as much as the Stihl.

here's a start .... not liking the form when I see the pictures, but we'll see what I can do after it dries!

Got 25+ years on my 028 Stihl with nothing but chains spark plugs gas and oil. Cut a lot of wood and still going strong.:D
