Those are some beautiful logs and boards. My dad bought a Mobile Dimension mill in 1980. I ran it awhile for him. I know he sawed a huge cedar from the river swamp once that was 36" dia. He found a horseshoe in it. Before he milled it.
Interesting, I've never ran a circular sawmill. My dad, brothers, and I went to the mobile dimension manufacturer to look at their mills back in the late 90's. They are really simple, and fast mills......they really excel at sawing very large logs, like over 8' in diameter.
You didnt dust it off? Nice looking load of farwood there. Hope none of that stuff is coming our way.
Cool! We were milling oak today, too. Mostly, medium quality logs into trailer decking, but there were a couple nice logs. Here's some pretty qs red oak.
It mostly blew off in the first mile or so. This weather is nuts, all you northern yankees ain't got no snow, and us southerners are freezing up!
It was humid here today and i hated it. Dont like sweating. Im in Southern CT. The weather can change on a moments notice though. Ive taken my PU full of snow on the highway and gunned it to get the snow out!
Yep. I liked it. It did waste more wood than a band mill, but really good for cutting standard size lumber. 1 pass and have a finished board
Today we went and salvaged some white oak outta a big nasty dozer pile, on a wet slimy clay hillside. Got two trailer loads of pretty good logs...... they all had barbed wire fence in em, so after sawing into it one time, we cut the rest of em off extra high.... Bout to drive out from underneath the logs..... Back home....
It grows on trees around here... People just doze it into piles and burn cedar here.... it's just a matter of convincing them to let me salvage it before the blaze.
