I agree. They are 2' on center, same as rest of barn. It's held up for 200 years.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Can you eyeball and guesstimate the deflection in them please? We recently had to change our standards because of the weaker plantation woods available these days compared to old growth timbers the pioneers had at their disposal.
Sure can.
If you look carefully you can see it sat back on the cut, I did a little bore to get the wedge in to tip it over , it's a tallowood, a
prized durable species .
?? You use our standard for timber framing which has mgp & F rating & how far they will span.
Good morning Leeroy.
Those look nice, you still out falling, or on firewood duty now.
The other day looking at the pictures of the barn I noticed the other barn a ways behind this one, looked nice.
May cut a bit today, need to try out the 462.
KiwiBro, some of them are 2"! Not sure if it's the fault of the way I milled them, the fact that it is Quaking Aspen, that they were not stickered, or a combination.
Hello Brett,
I should be out cutting timber, but home trying to get some things done before winter really sets in, which includes firewood! Also have heavy rain coming in so getting ready for that.
If the barn you see has a gambrel roof, it would be the chicken coop. It's probably 10x12.Thanks!
Cutting a nice sugar maple before the freezing rain starts. Usually use the 24" but went at it with the 20" today.
About 24" across or so.
Tomorrow’s job, big heavy leaning Beech. Hopefully I can roll it to the right of the one in front, Siswheel?Don’t care much for the seam in it, but at least it’s running into the lean.
Also another dead Beech
That base would make a beautiful taple top.
That is pretty cool looking.
Dropped this three stem maple in a few steps, first the hard leaning 20" plus lead off the side pictured above the crotch, then went back a couple weeks later and dropped the other two together with the skidding winch holding a bit of tension on the back lead, didn't want here to split off into the pool or the house. I was glad they held together for me.
Then I dropped this pine too.
A maple today
Took my finger off the throttle just long enough to get her pinched.Twins
The leaning Ash was interesting
And a big soft maple spar
speaking of falling
Hope you are okay. Ron
Was that caught on tape?
Lucky me its pretty soft ground, and I've learned to go limp and roll with it, muh neck is a little stiff today I sorta half bounced on my head, then nearly nose dived into the waiting excavator track.
Otherwise just a dirtier hoodie, not even any bruises, was laughing to hard to even bruise my pride lol
Sadly no, I was in a hurry and the L.O. was in the way... we all have regrets though don't we
