First time back with the saws. 11" oak with Tui M tooth saw. need to work on cardio again.

I was mistaken in the video. I measured afterwards. It is 11" on the dot for log diameter. just starting to work on getting the saw to cut better. need to work on my technical skills a lot, but also need to work on my sprinting tolerance or my anaerobic capacity. I think if I get that solid for a full minute at full effort. Sub 30 seconds for a race will feel like nothing.

Which length saw did you get? I wish I could get one of the saws where its thicker at the teeth and thinner at the back. That way less sticking. Good stuff.

6 ft on the tui M tooth. And yeah, the old cresent ground and taper ground saws are nice, they have less binding overall, especially for a felling cut they can be nice.

Sorry looked back. Memory not so good any more. 59 years of wear and tear. 🤣 Saw its a 6 foot. Looks shorter in video. They say one must have a saw double the length of the diameter you saw.

Haha no worries! And yeah, I'd like to run a 6.5 ft saw I think. I have a fairly long wingspan and I've been told 6ft is a bit short for my stroke. BUT it's what I've got at the present haha and yeah, I've oft heard that rule of thumb, I've found the smaller one man saws can get clogged up a bit on bigger stock. The gullets can't clear the material. So I'm thinking that saying is correct for the most part.
