I saw an actual full size helicopter with a huge chainsaw thing trimming trees along the railroad. Must have been the power company. Imagine the insurance policy on that thing.

Good morning all.
I had a request to saw some lumber and also had a few dead trees . The ground was dry enough yesterday to get to a couple that I cut and drug out.
The log in the foreground appears to be no good and will only have two short cuts for lumber. The bad sections have some real good value also if one heats with wood . The wife keeps this wood handy and can have a good fire going on a cold morning before the coffee is ready. It burns kinda like cardboard soaked in diesel fuel . Two or three pieces is enough

We call it “rich pine”, or “fat pine”. High energy for sure. That looks like a lightning struck tree trying to heal itself with rosin.

We call it “tar wood”. Excellent kindling material for lightup.

Pitch-splits here. Dangerous to sell. Wonderful starting fire wood. I’ve found to only allow no more than three pieces at a time access to the wife.

When one is sawing lumber there is a lot of scrap to deal with but a good problem to have if you are one of us

Hello Kevin .
If it is your logs and I saw , a 2x6-14 would cost about $2,50 each .
If I saw from my logs it would cost you about $6.00 each .

I really hope to get some money for taxes. A bandsaw sawmill would be first in my list. For now, the neighbor gave me this for my chainsaw. It’s a lot of work and a lot of gas. This is a trial run on a 5" Birch log.

Thanks Wayne that’s good perspective on plank pricing,I haven’t bought a 2? ln about 8 years,since I got some help from a friend and tore down two buildings with crobars.the ones building fell apart with back ho bucket, once roof and walls were removed.they were about 30\30 feet square and had one by 4 and 1\six 8_10_ loads of boards,the boards were free for removeing the buildings.That sounds like a good price for brand new wood,with no nails too grind off.

When turning leaves into pellets you have to grind them up fine like sawdust
