Why is that? There are still bigger trees than that standing around Willapa Bay.
I don't. I'm wondering if the tree is going to be used for a mast/spar on a sailing ship? Such orders do come in once in a great while. Not often. A logging outfit back in the 1980s had a buyer just for that. They got the blessing to doze out a bed and a big Noble Fir was carefully felled. Unfortunately, the faller messed up the length due to a badly spliced tape. Hardhats were thrown in anger, bad words bellowed, and I think the faller was fired? The tree went down the road in log lengths.I call BS on that pic
Well I still call BS on the pic. It is simple physics. Go study it again.I don't. I'm wondering if the tree is going to be used for a mast/spar on a sailing ship?

Went to a lecture on Do You Really Want To Harvest Poles On Your Property? Poles, meaning those used for utilities like powerlines, not fences. The problem is the haul. Tight turns are impossible and things like gates, mailboxes, shrubberies, get smashed when hauling goes through.
Physics says it is BS.The photo has the writing of the old timey photos. Note the scale is written on the photo. Scale meaning board feet.
They are hauling on a beach-- either on Willapa Bay or the Pacific. It says South Bend and that is on the SW Washington coast, south of Raymond.
There is a cat for pushing in the background.
They did crazy things back then.
I'm curious as to what physics to notice. Can you clarify?Well I still call BS on the pic. It is simple physics.
A simple lever. Consider the center of balance then the weight on the drive axle.I'm curious as to what physics to notice. Can you clarify?
I see the more massive butt end on the drive axle. Approximately 2/3 of the log is between the drive axle and the trailer axle. I don't see the problem.A simple lever. Consider the center of balance then the weight on the drive axle.
Why? That pic is absolutely % legit.I call BS on that pic
