    Yes, I’ll burn it, but I’d rather use my time, energy and fuel processing the other piles of logs. A friend that has a wood-mizer wants the logs, but if he drags his feet on the pick up, I’ll turn it to splits. There’s a So Red Oak behind this tree that’s next on the hit list.

    Whittled down the poplar to the clean highly valuable log.

    Wow, nice and straight! No desire to mill Jim?

    If I had a sheltered wood-mizer lt50, a machine to move logs and a building to store boards, yes.

    Good job sir! Some nice splits to come from that. Landlord wants to take down a couple TP just into our woods. Massive twin trees. One i can fell into the woods with ease, but has since had a standing dead maple fall against it and its to dangerous for me now.

    My reason for not saving big mill logs too. If i can get them on the truck they can get milled.
