Can I harvest enough logs for a small cabin? I’m going to try. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
The trees I’m felling are black spruce, common here in Interior Alaska. They are typically found in dense stands and are not typically used due to their small size. They’re really not used for much and they choke the land. I’m going to search for logs 6-8 inches in diameter for this project. This is property we own. By harvesting these logs, the forest will also benefit with more sunlight and room for other trees to grow bigger and stronger. I will also be able to use more of the land. Wood is the most sustainable material to build with, and using timber from my own land is a more economical option.
I’m using a draw knife, bark spud, Collins axe, and an Echo CS-400 Chainsaw. I’ve been running a chainsaw for over 25 years. This is my first Echo. I usually use Stihl chainsaws, but my last one (MS-250) blew up this spring. To be honest, I’m loving this Echo
