Another day, another fir

[mtngun]

A 17" doug fir, skidded to a shady part of the trail where it'll be easy to work on.

Bucked into three 10' logs for siding, and two 12' logs for beams. And a little firewood left over.

It's nice milling in the shade.

Someone pointed out that my tailgate was bowed. This is how it gets bowed.

18 siding boards, and 2 half-finished beams. Still one more log to mill perhaps tomorrow.

That explains the tailgate syndrome . Nice stack of slabs .

I finished milling the log that I started yesterday, then started on this little guy. Normally I use the Alaskan for the 1st cut but I didn't want to carry it up the hill so I used the mini-mill for all 4 sides.

6" x 8" x 12'. It'll be used for wind bracing on the barn.

Saw this while driving out. Fortunately, no one was home.

Nice shots. I understand the tailgate, but how did you get them on it? If you wrestled them up by hand, I want you in my corner if I ever get cornered. Ron

Nice! Beams are good, stock pile them!
