Some how that mill dosn't look like it can cut such big logs. She looks good. I really like the Michigan fashion.

The X's in the ends of these logs look to perfect to be checking, have they been cut in, if so why?

enjoying the pics, thanks

The x's were put there by me at the yard where I got them,he had about 50 logs so I put an X on the ones I wanted.I had to wait about three weeks for him to load and deliver so I was sure glad I marked them. Mark

I'm sorry, checking, cut in. What does that mean?

Mark, looks like you have an aux. oiler. Do you dribble oil on the tip (as I do) or is the tip drilled? I want your loader.
Good pics, thanks for posting, milled some cedar yesterday, got a good sized doug fir and some more cedar to cut today.

Russell,
The tip is not drilled,I just dribble as you do.My loader was broke when I got it,Had to put a hyd pump and some controls.It's an old General loader,with a Perkins 4 cyc and 4 WD.Glad you like,I do too.

ok I'll bite... checking refers to cracks that form when wood dries and shrinks, usually on the end of a board or log first. "cut in" he was referring to was taking a chain saw to cut into the end of the log making an X, in this case to mark the logs.

Oh, I see Carvin thinks he's Zoro.

I'm glad I'm not the only dribbler!

I knew somebody would jump all over that!!! I had to chuckle too when I replied.
