Ok, as a chainsaw nut, I have to ask what model Stihl are you using to rip with?

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Autumn is now here......................
Grass has basically stopped, just tipping light regrowth now. The above is the last Ornamental Pear I have to deal with these days. I once had four properties with a combined 30 Pear trees to clean up every Autumn. Thankfully, they all dropped at different rates, so it spread out my workload across the season, with the last of them holding right up until the start of Winter. Would have carted billions of the things to the green waste every year......................
And no, I didn't set fire to them....................
I did two full loads that day, luckily the green waste tip was only a 3-minute drive from that particular property. Try doing that is a dual cab model.......................
Back to today, despite appearances, the below image is before I started cutting. The technique I use is to blow all of the leaves onto the lawn, in the process clearing a path around the perimeter to avoid the mower blowing leaves onto the pavement. I then get to it...............
After the initial cut.....................
From there, most would be happy, but I then go around with the blower again and re-cut the area to suck up any remaining leaves. With so many more leaves yet to fall, it's probably a waste of time, but I have high standards!
For leaf vacuuming, I would normally be using my Rover ProCut 560 or a 2-stroke Victa for this role, the Rover for its full width chute and massive catcher, the Victa 2-stroke for its sheer power. The Victa Commercial 21 with its partial chute did surprisingly well in this case, the engine barely raising a sweat.
I wish I bought this mower years ago!

Are you keeping it live edge like that? If so, what's it being used for?

I don't really know about leaving the live edge or not
The tree was mine but ripping lumber is my sons deal and I don't know if he already has plans for the wood or not
I just like running my chainsaws

He slabbed these to 5/4 and will be ripping them to dimensional lumber for a project
We did another large birch last fall and he slabbed it 8/4 and he is leaving that live edge for a special project
