Was the upper trunk good for milling?
You only really needed a 20" bar for that one. You were way overpowered

I see now where you were talking about with teh 50" bar and saw....NVM my question in teh 10" sugar pine post. So white pine doesn't have a lot of pitch like eastern pine eh? I still burn ours, slash, loblolly and spruce pine in teh fireplace, but mostly to get the fire started or keep it hungry. I understand it does produce a bit more creosote than hardwood but my chimney is swept every year or every chord of wood, so it doesn't make that much difference here. Burns good most of teh time just not as hot. Is that heart rot real common in white pines? You will see that often in hardwoods here, but almost never in an eastern pine tree

Mike, awesome tree!!!
here's some pics of a WW pine we removed Jan of 04, 5 foot at the ground....2 plus days, 2 climbers, 40 yards of chips. It was the largest of its species in Seattle. May my late great friend pictured here, Bob York, rest in peace. He died last fall of prostate cancer--was the best steelhed fly fisherman in the world, a great commercial fisherman, arborist, logger..for 50 years.
I just sent 5600 bf of white pine to the mill today, from 3 trees, all 20 feet from a house, all 115 to 153 feet tall and limby!!! some of the tallest and wolfiest trees i've done.

The girls are prettier where I come from...... and most of them don`t have sideburns.

Russ, I didn't comment on the 'girl's' appearance. Perhaps those earrings are really earplugs.

Expand that pic to it`s maximum size and tell me that you don`t see an Adam`s apple on that "girl". My daddy told me to run from the girls with an Adam`s apple.
Where`s Macdaddy to clear this up, maybe I need glasses worse than I thought.

Nope! At maximum size yuo can see that the 'earrings' are earplugs in the other pic. In any case, now Mike has something to razz his buddy about.
