    Heres a few pics from this weekend. It was about 17F and snow started coming down as we were finishing up. That was one big piece of red oak and will make some good flooring. It makes the LT15 look small! All the "waste" off the mill turns into firewood.

    No kidding! I would hate to think how much boards like that would cost at the store, 19" wide.

    That makes that stump worth quite a bit, it had 80 board ft in it. The mating half had almost as much wood in it. Thanks for the figures!

    EDIT: I cant do math today, it actually had 100+ bd ft.

    If nothing else that shows one way of getting a round peg to fit in a square hole. ;)
