The butt log, I would like to see sawed. in my uneducated mind, a piece of wood is a piece of wood, some are nicer than others, but if there's boards in there they should get sawed. If all the gravy is cut and goes to the mill okay, what is the problem with sending stuff that is not gravy? Is it really that detrimental to a mill that often has a hard time getting wood to saw The lumber won't be as pretty but it will be lumber, sell that #### at a discount and add the $ to the pile. I guess I feel like if a tree is cut, every portion of said tree should be used if it indeed can be used. I can quarter that big butt log and they can send it to the pulp mill, I'll even do it on my own time so as not to waist good time out in the fell & buck.
But this is something I know nothing about. I just cut them and run them out to the first break. The big ones cut a lot easier for me. Big trees like that, il get my cuts aligned first time almost every time, gunned right, undercuts fall out with no beating, back cuts right on the $$, Like I have done it in a past life or something..
