Here's a really nice example of how to dry slab/flitch sawn logs in log form (i.e. "en boule"). Image shamelessly stolen from Bucks Valley...
P.S. I did a little Googling and 3" seems to be desired thickness for gun stocks. That will take LONG time to dry, air or kiln, but may be worth...
Here's a stack of cant sawn poplar from a few years ago. I didn't bother to weigh the top and it came out dead flat (poplar is super stable)....
What's the diameter of the log, ballpark? 1. Slab/flitch sawing at 2-2.75" would be a solid idea for black walnut. They would make nice table...
I've recently come into some lovely red oak. Cleaning up a red oak I got a few nice saw logs and I will have a ridiculous amount of wood left...
Too bad it broke the upper part of the main stem when it hit the hickory. I could have had several more saw logs. Oh well, plenty of firewood....
Well, one of our dominant red oaks tipped over last week from all the rain. This old fella was 30+" dbh. The picture below is where I cut it off...
Kubota got a little workout skidding oak logs today. She was actually able to skid a couple of almost 30" diameter by 12.5 foot logs (roughly...
That's why you need an MS361 and an MS461. Come on down to my place. I've got three 24+" diameter oaks on the ground. I have both, ported too....
The MS362C is supposed to be a great saw. If you want a 60 cc. saw, then go for it. I run MS261CM (M-tronic), MS361 and MS461. You might also...
Sorry to say, but this is completely wrong. The M- tronic actually adjusts perfectly and automatically to modifications like open up the...
Moving some river rock to some of the muddy areas in the sheep yard today.[ATTACH]
Best answer!!!!!!
Conversely: A landowner on my drive into work had a couple of walnut trees taken down in her yard(definitely some metal in them, obvious dark...
Thanks for pointing out TurboDiesel That's why I put my ZIP. I'm sure I don't know all members within "striking" distance.
Thankfully, it fell into an unused pasture. No damage to anything. A few small branches fell into our lane, but my neighbors cleared that out...
So last night we had horrible rains and this big (~24" DBH) red oak fell down and took out another smaller red oak. So, I see about 1.5-2 cord of...
GREAT SCORE! One time, I heard my neighbor running a saw, so I went down to poke my nose into his business. It turns out that he was dropping a...
