With volumes like that available I’d suggest looking into the biochar business…

Good evening Mr Wayne!
I don’t think I’ve ever smelled freshly cut cedar. Nice color.
We’ve had a couple of windy weeks. Nothing close to your numbers, but still hard to stand upright.
That armchair of yours look more comfortable than mine. I could use one of those next to my boiler. You had better bring yours downstairs to safety.

Hello JO
I spent some time in a chair under ground but not this one.
I think I showed you and and Kristijan my under ground bunker.
So sad , there were some folks killed in this storm on the other side of the state

JO; This picture of Mr. Wayne is exactly the picture I had of you down by your boiler, except I had you in your pajamas and a red cement floor. Can’t remember where I got such a vivid picture of you. TomC

If that wind is coming from the South, I may be able to smell it up here.
That’s a nice pile of lumber you have there. I wish I could get an aromatic cedar log on my sawmill.

Wind is sometimes harvesting faster than you like.
Just in this little area there’s at least 10-15 spruces fit to saw. Some of them are good for five 14 foot logs each, within 10-20" width. Looks like I will be milling at least 50 logs this spring. Oh, and there will be lots of scrap for firewood of course.
I need cold temps now. To wet and muddy to get to this location with the Fergie at the moment.

Be careful Jo, that is among the most dangerous things one can do in the forest

Not much soil over those rocks and a perched water table makes for shallow roots

If the ground wasn’t so wet, and if it was frozen, the trees would still be standing. As said, the clear cut right beside doesn’t help, those trees grew protected, so had roots strong enough to suit. The stumps can do funny things when the log is cut off, and the criss crossed logs might want to spring one way or another. Looks like lots of tripping hazards and obstacles to movement if one needs to move fast.
Jo, will you be pulling the logs out in full length to better ground to cut them up?

I now see why you have to wait for colder weather to get in to the woods. Didn’t ever think of Sweden forests being low lands. I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on me-- we have forests where the loggers have to wait for freezing to get in. TomC
PS Didn’t you post a picture of yourself sitting on the porch sunning in your PJ’s ???

Yes, it’s important not to be in a hurry when dealing with this tyoe of logging.
Yes, when possible I slide the full lengths out in the open before cutting and loading.
Tom, I admit I wore shorts (underwear), but no pajama

As winter ends, finally you get snow. At least the logs may drag out clean. Hopefully you have sunglasses…

Will people actually buy bio-char?
we are sorting out the chunks and then using the stove length stuff for heat. But there is an abundance of it so I have been making about 4 drums of charcoal a week and stockpiling it for later. But If it could be sold,…
