The good thing about juniper is that you can cut all the wood you want and never actually harm a tree. The bad thing about juniper is that most of the wood you cut is trash - it takes a lot of cutting to get a trailer full of usable logs. The other bad thing about juniper is that it's so tangled - you've really got to wade in to get at those usable logs. The OTHER bad thing about juniper is that the wood is so full of sand it's hard as hell on chains. I dulled two of my three chains yesterday, which means today is unlikely to be a full day.
Actually that last one is one of the GOOD things about juniper.
Got a nice big pile, though. Customer said if I can do that again I won't need three days to get everything she wants. Which is good, because Uncle Joel is getting too old for this shit.

Do you have a file for sharpening you chains yourself? They don't do a superb professional job, but they seriously extend the life of the chain between pro sharpenings.
I think the dull chains have a pseudonym: respite. One generally tries not to eliminate some of ones better excuses for pain inducing labors.
Buck.
Even "Too young" is too old for this shit. It just takes 20 years or more to realize it.
