That looks like doug fir wood to me, is that correct?
I get shavings like that when ripping with the grain, but never when cuttting cross grain.
I'm curious also and hope someone has a solid answer.

The wood was cut with the grain not across the grain. I do that with big rounds so the initial split is easier.:yeah:
We do that to make a little fire starter as well.

I’ve always wondered how he gets such long shavings.

Yep 100% skip tooth full chisel chain from ripping rounds with the grain. I do this a lot with my 362 and green wood since I don't have a wood splitter
Price of gas might be time for a splitting mall :-)

Most likely a very sharp full skip, square ground chisel, ripping chain.
Yep! :yeah: He said sharp right.

As a log furniture builder for 35 years I've been around a chainsaw or 2. I run full skip tooth and sharp chains, but not a square ground chisel(not familiar with that) but will look into it. Curious why somebody would cut firewood with a ripping chain (made for WITH the grain) :dunno:
These cuts are not with the grain, they are ACROSS the grain
Interesting

Would be an odd place to use a saw like that but who knows...

Ok, not really 2x4’s, but the thing sounded like an angry dirt bike!

The logging boys got it. It's a full skip chain. Used to have one on a big STIHL that would scream through timber. They speed up cutting when you need a big saw to run a longer bar. It cuts faster and has less drag on the chain. Mine only had a 36" bar and it left shavings like that.
I have run full skip on my saws for years, never got shavings. Maybe like you say, its because of longer bar/lots of power....seems like overkill for the diam. size of firewood they are cutting.

Anyhow, this video, the second cut sure does produce shavings like what is seen in the OP.
