I just heard that recently myself . They also visulize Ohio as being flat like a pancake such as the area I live in .Cornfields and milk cows .Southern and eastern Ohio is hilly ,like W Va ,with tall timber in parts ,well tall for the east cost that is .

I think that area of Cal is just one of a kind type thing with the mountain ranges ,ocean currents and weather patterns . A person such as myself pictures the state as big trees to the north and beachs full of lovilies to the south .I often forget about the vast farm lands and vineyards . My...

I've seen the swing mills in operation ,neat machines .However they still can't slab through a big log . Like for a table slab or something of that nature . I'm afraid it's going to take a chainsaw for that . Let's face it no commercial mill will touch that log .It could be a nail or even a...

Some people refer to quartersawn oak as mining for green gold .

Very true indeed just like those knobs called burls .More times that not around here they end up in the wood stove from just a lack of knowledge of their usage . Every log with it's grain patterns etc could find usages in niche markets ,like wind brown grains in the bottom log of a black walnut...

That log is typical of a tree grown without being in compition for sunlight . Interesting grain patterns for certain but not what we in these parts would consider a good lumber log . You don't need a crane to load a big log if you have some imagination .
