Home site clearing

The last several weeks we've been hard at it to clear the home site of the last few trees before the builder starts excavation of the foundation and starts the home building.

We have created about another three cords of wood from the crooked hardwoods we cut and bucked.  The larger straight trees we want to keep for future projects (beams and other decorative features we'd like to have in the home) are to be cut down.  The good ones are oak and hickory.

A decent sized oak being felled:
Then skidded out to the landing with a Farmi 351P winch and MF 240 tractor where we buck it and split it (unless we keep it for later milling)
