vids up
Josh put his vids up of us cutting last weekend. Mostly he cut though, I did a few cuts with the big saw just because...first ported saw I ever ran and it's a big 'un. Ha! I was more proud of actually getting it started, that is a *stout* saw, and not even close to being broken in yet..

Ha! you get to drink all the whiskey, I stopped back in the 90s. Either way, ya, stop by! another canucikstanian said something about stopping by on the way to flourdough.
Thought of something else on my leaner cut, I should have sniped it at the face cut/hinge area.

Follow-up to our milling project - Too many irons in the fire
We've been straight out, between the visiting outlaws and wood projects. Somewhere I've got to find time to give Unclemoustache a call about the saw I've got here for his son. Meanwhile, here's a few pics...
Woodlot - current
Nice log - lousy lumber - fast grower with really wide grain - part of it's already on the trailer.
Recent additions to our existing 18 cords. Mostly red oak. Yea, those are flaky looking corners. I was in a hurry.
Mill output - 16 footers on the bottom, 12 footers on top - we're adding some ballast to help keep them straight.

wow! You have a lot of nice wood!
Well Mac88, you have made my computer background for tonight. I need to learn how to mill like that. Pardon if you've already posted this but what saw do you use when you mill?.

*Snort* hehehehe
I can't wait to get my new phone with an improved camera, so my pics don't suck so hard. There's actually 7 dogs sitting there and one garden goddess trying to keep them all still to get the pic. One dog got completely hidden by the two big labs.
I just got done right before dark stacking up those ash rounds. Got around 2/3rds cord from that one tree.
I am just stacking rounds and heaping small rounds and shorts and uglies now, I'll split and final long term stack later once mud season hits harder. As long as I have access, I am going down to the wet areas to pull out primo wood.

Thank you, sir. I wish I had more room to store it.
My BIL and I did this on his Woodmizer LT30. It's an oldie, but very well maintained. My only complaint is having to roll the logs by hand to square them up. We had some 20+ inch wide pieces, but cut them in half to cut down on warpage.

Very nice place to store your wood there! :msp_thumbsup:

That's a 4-person job. Two taking it off the trailer, handing off to two through the basement window, stickering and stacking. Green oak is heavy. We have a dry basement, but the humidity went up 20% after we got all the wood in. Got a couple fans moving air across it, but no so much as to dry it too fast. And an exhaust fan in the basement window. You can smell oak on the second floor. ;o)

It must smell like wine barrels! 
What are you going to make with all that nice wood? Or are you going to sell it?

Hey you woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!
HA! Hope it doesn't smell like that red oak smell that someone had a thread about a few weeks ago! (although I personally like it)
Nike stack of lumber ya got there! Have plans for it?

It smells like oak :msp_tongue:
Partly red, partly white. Someone said the white was pin oak. Some oak smells ok, some not so good, even within the same variety.
Mrs is making "bookcase" noises when it's dry. We'll see. A lot of it's quarter sawn so it should be exceptionally stable. We likely won't sell it, but may trade a portion for something. We also have some dry cedar beams, and some dry "highly valuable" walnut.
We're also trying to scare up some decent hedge logs to mill.
