I have started running the replay at x 2 in the settings it is much better than normal and can be entertaining watching just how quick the work is done when it's run faster.

I always get happy when you say you have a big project because they're usually the ones I enjoy watching the most. Seeing the project evolve from a patch of woods into something amazing is fascinating, especially with your work ethic and dedication to a project well done.

Perfect new project! I love watching you dig ponds and I love shooting and gun Ranges! A win-win! Thanks for another great video, Chris!

That "yellow" tree that you called out near minute 25 is Osage Orange. The sap wood is that bright yellow. They heart wood is almost an amber color. That wood is prized by some of us wood turners.

Yellowwood (a.k.a. Virgilia, gopherwood, yellow locust, yellow ash) is a slow growing, medium-sized tree, averaging thirty-five to fifty feet at maturity, with a broad rounded crown.

Osage Orange, Bodark, Bois d'arc, bow wood, hedge apple (same thing, different names). Very hard wood. Native Americans used it to make their bows.

As mentioned, the yellow tree was an ancient osage orange. Great for fencing, thorns on them like needles. Root around and see if you can find some fruit, get the seeds and plant it if you wish.

@shittylitty 4 жыл бұрын

Ricki we called them hedge apples 🍏 here in Kentucky are they one and the same?

@Rickimusic 4 жыл бұрын

@@shittylitty Yup, different parts of the country call em different things. I brought some from Maryland and planted em North of Allentown PA and they did really well as fence lines. Rabbits and grouse love to hide in them. We have too many foxes. Then we used them in NC. They are doing just fine. I like em cause they are not at all invasive like some plants. Seeds germinate well and if set right, nothing will get through a hedge of osage orange. Their wood is prized and very expensive. Chris probably broke $300 worth. lol

Chris, that was a Yellowwood tree. I read some call it Virgilia. It's native and fairly rare. I'd imagine the price is good. 😉 When you finished off the barn and grabbed that huge bucket full for the truck my respect for the 250, and the difference between it and the 220, went up a notch. I wonder big a tree a 380 could pull up by the roots. 🤔

The gnarly tree appears to be, or was, an Osage Orange. The color is right and the twisted massive root structure is right. As a teen we cleared a quarter mile of fence row populated with those dratted trees. The only thing they are good for is making turned bowls for decoration. They suck as fence posts and are pitiful as firewood. Thanks for the video on a cold and rainy night here in Virginia.

@AvgJoe0007 4 жыл бұрын

That yellow wood tree is called: Osage Orange, Bois-D'arc, Hedge Apple, & Horse Apple, depending on who you are listening to. The French called it Bois-D'arc because it was used for making bows for bows and arrows. It's also called hedge apple because it was used for making hedgerows for cattle containment before barbed wire was invented; it has long thorns and can be grown into thick hedge rows.

I like to sit in your cab and watch you move stuff around and how you approach different projects. I especially like to see how excavating is done and how your able to explain the reason for the different task (like the borrow pit). I like your videos they're very interesting but they need to have some sort of sequence. I want to see it from start to finish without all the repetitiveness. Could you explain the different sizes of excavators 220 vs 160 and how those id's were developed?
