Good evening everyone.
I recieved 2 burls from someone local in Minnesota. The first one cut like a dream. 20 minutes from start to finish. While I thought it was a little long.....not to bad.
However, the second burl seems to be made of something a chainsaw can't cut. I have shapened the blade. Kept the weight off the saw. Even have started comming around the end. After 2 hours, I am barely into the wood the thickness of the bar. At this rate, I have another 8 hours of cutting.
I understand different woods mean differen hardness. But has anyone had something like this happen to them and what did you do to get it cut through?
Thanks for the help.
