So my landlord wanted to take down a Palo Verde tree.
Naturally, I volunteered.
See, I had these newly convexed blades begging for action.
It took less than three minutes to wreak this havoc.
A barkie strop cleaned 'em right up, back to shaving sharp in no time!

The Palo Verde before:

I'd like a DF but I don't know about those aftermarket prices.
Waiting for my M9LE and a custom 9" Chopper, with those plus the BRKT Golok and some machetes on the way I should make do.
A DF wouldn't hurt though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That looks very cool.
Great looking blades and a small workout for them!

Peace.

He has a short DF, the SOD. It could have easily taken down that tree. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

The best way to make yard work fun is with all your toys. If you get to burn what you chop down it is all the better!

Funny you should say that Jeff, I just did and that was the REAL workout!
Roots are definitely the enemy!

The SOD missed out, it's waiting for some real trees to take down! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I wish I could light it up, but being in California means no way jose.
I can save it and light it up for my camping trip in Joshua Tree!
