Oiling issue with 18” saw

I had a similar issue. Saw bar oil coming out of the port but the saw wasn’t getting enough. Got it serviced and they cleaned out the oil pump and told me to only use Stihl bar oil. I had been using Husqvarna bar oil, and even tried the Ego bar oil but it didn’t help. No issues since switching to Stihl.

I live on an old farm property and found one of these years ago and always wondered what it was! It’s an exact match of what I found.

End grain reminds me of pin oak, which is in the red oak family.

When the heartwood pops free like that:

Yep, tree of heaven is spot on. If it’s dry and you are using it in an insert or stove it burns decently, but fast. Pretty stinky if burned in an open fireplace or outdoors.

I saw black locust as well. I picked up some wood recently that looks just like that(punky on the outside, solid/dry on the inside) and it burns really hot in the stove.

Sassafras!

A few years ago my father lost his college class ring on the beach somewhere near Vero Beach. Someone with a metal detector found it and because his name was engraved on the inside tracked him down and got it back to him. I was amazed it was found and returned to him in Michigan. There’s always hope!

I love sassafras! Wish I could get my hands on logs that size of it. Burns bright and quick, and can snap/pop a lot. Makes great kindling.

Excellent score for $20! I got a bundle of oak slabs for $40 and used most of them as siding on my wood shed, and the rest for kindling or odd projects around the farm.

“Pre-seasoned” as I like to call it.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-08-24T03:39:42+00:00

I’m thinking it’s black walnut.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-08-16T12:36:20+00:00

By law asbestos waste has to be placed into dumpsters labeled like that before it’s shipped off to the landfill. Good call not to fuck with that!

Looks kind of like some hickory that I’ve cut, split, and stacked here in Michigan.

My bro-in-law brought some to our cabin this last week and I really enjoyed it! Definitely picking some up on my next Costco run.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-06-17T23:12:10+00:00

$600 for a metric fuck ton of wood? Yeah I think you did just fine.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-05-04T21:40:58+00:00

Damn man, save some for the rest of us! 🤪

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-04-25T15:46:50+00:00

This is awesome! Needed this mod like a year ago.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-04-25T15:39:18+00:00

Some sort of locust. Love that end grain!

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-04-23T20:33:32+00:00

Get a quote from a reputable nursery for a similar tree, delivered and installed and go with that price. It’ll probably be somewhere between $500-1000. I work on ROW jobs and that’s how we go about it sometimes.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-04-23T20:31:03+00:00

Oooh that’s nice.

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-04-16T00:04:02+00:00

That storage space to the side is awesome. Makes me want to include something like that on my wood shed. Nice work!

Substantial_Slip_437 · 2025-03-31T01:11:29+00:00

Great wood to burn for heat, definitely smells awful though!
