Nice day for timberin

[Admin]

Guess since I aint trapping I gotta do something to keep active. The conditions are just right for cutting timber. I always did enjoy doing this stuff. ;D



Even got the ol lady out there workin



Getting a nice collection going.

That sure is a nice lookin setup ya got there,JC. ;DLooks like you are gettin the trees cleared out away from house pretty well. Ya know where there is no trees there will be grass and weeds. Is that some ash ya got mixed in there?

[flyguy]

JC you saw the logs your self or send them to the mill?

[johnporter]

Yes indeed you have been busy. Those are some really decent logs. No heart rot so your going to be able to mill everything... ;D

These are all pine. I was hoping to get them all away from the house but I just heard that we are suppose to get slammed with 40mph wind and 60mph gust and freezing rain. I've got too many big pines that are way too close to the house for this crap.

Normally I mill them myself but my sawmill is all manual and it's pretty labor intensive. I'll be having someone bring in a portable mill and zip these out for me.

Yeah John, there's some real dandys there. I've got some that are straight as a telephone pole and super tall. You really feel the ground shake when they hit the ground Too bad ya didn't live closer, I'd split the lumber with ya for the help in cutting them.

JC now is certainly the best time to cut those pine! No blue stain.

Man, would I love to be up there cutting them bad boys down. Are you going to saw them in 8 footers or can the mill take bigger. The one I left in Maine will do a 20ft log. We customized it and I'll tell you they work slick. If you get a chance put a picture up of your mill.Thanks..
