Sure was. When I bucked it in the woods, I left it in 2&3-fers, cause I wanted to play with the sawbuck, but I had to give up on the biggest ones and just cut em to length right there.
I did a HUGE walnut 3 years ago. Was 3' across at the base, got three nice saw logs and several cord of firewood out of it. Ended up with several hundred board feet of premium lumber from it, it has been stickered in my garage for almost 3 years now and it's ready to use. Hope to build a nice farm table for our kitchen out of it next summer....
Some really neat logs, should be some really nice lumber. I really like your sawbuck. Glad to see I'm not the only one using a 4500 Echo.
