The new Stihl MS880 chainsaw

The video below is from a couple of weeks ago, and shows me using my new Stihl MS880 chainsaw for the first time...  with a 6-foot guide bar on the Alaskan chainsaw mill.

This was a wind-blown tree near Blagdon, Bristol. The base had been badly effected by the parasitic fungus Perennipori Fraxinea and was mostly rotted out.

New chainsaw!

Using the new chainsaw for the first time, milling some absolutely lovely ash.

We thought the olive figuring looked like a fish. Do you see anything?

Both the olive ash is created by a fungal infection in the trees. It gives some lovely character to the timber.
