I might need to borrow a chainsaw....

If you axed her nicely she might let you.

How hard is choke cherry wood?. I'm not sure electric chainsaws are great on hardwood. The chains most of them come with are for softer woods. I have a Husky that the chain seems to dull really fast when chewing through hardwoods.

Electric would do for this project. I did lot's of ELM with an electric. Also, the retail saws have the anti-kickback chains on them. Professional small engine shops can sell you a "Real" saw chain for it though. Apparently they cut a lot faster and last longer. (i've not tried one yet though)

Sounds like good firewood. How big a tree we talking?

Kelly,,,, CLIP YOUR MAN CARD!!! You can't go to the ER from an electric chainsaw. NO danger factor, NO man points. Just hire someone!!

Update: Buffalobo has kindly offered his services to rid me of my tree this Saturday morning. I bought some tree trimming tools from Mazin and put them to use today. I believe Buffalobo is bringing the chainsaw. Should be good times.

Did not expect this to be a real thread. LOL.

She put up a good fight, but Buffalobo and I got it done in 3hrs. Two spade shovel purchases, one broken tow strap (which I plan on replacing for him) and some sweat was all that was needed. I tried to justify buying a new chainsaw, but the wife wasn't to keen on the idea.

Just convince her that a new Stihl is a prepping must. Especially if the apocalypse involves zombies.

If I had remembered the chain it would have saved some digging.
