Back to this thing .I finally am getting around to hauling the logs out of the woods along with what seems 10 thousand other things . I side hauled the butt log out a few days ago ,all 6,000 pounds of it .The process is relatively simple ,just physics using a chain ,a source of power and a few...

They claim it does especially for coloration . The area directly to the north of which I've mention occasionly was the great black swamp until they drained it .Flat as pancake extending clear up to lake Erie .In pioneer days the area was home to the largest red oaks ever grown on the planet...

I suppose it depends .This elevation is somewhere around 800 feet . The lake states have pretty good oak .I think the best start in about Iowa and go maybe to eastern Pa .north to maybe mid lower Michigan and south to Virginia . They say the best is Pa but I think that's red oak .I'm not a...

The last I had sawn which was a few years back was all pretty dry.Red oak,hickory ,some dry ash and some windfall green .Before the EAB thing .Oh and some of the nicest black cherry about 800 bd ft straight as a pool cue all F and S primo stuff . The guy cut it with a little LT 15 Wood Mizer...

You know something funny about oak,you can cut into a creosote tie that's layed under set of tracks for 40 years and still smell that oak smell .It isn't bad out side with a chainsaw but if I run any of it through a table saw my eyes water and I get a sneezing jag . Now that WV oak with that...

I looked up the weight of that bottom 16 foot log Lawdy nearly 6000 pounds .I'm going to have to get creative to move that thing with what equipment I have on hand . Ha it put the grunt on the little tractor moving one that weighed about half that amount front wheels off the ground .I might...

Those logs scaled at 850 Bd ft ,not spectacular but not bad considering .

I'm not exactly sure what the lumber will be used for .In addition to whatever can be salvaged from this one I have a couple more white oak logs that look real good ,straight tight rings etc .Not exactly certain how much is in this one .I'll scale later on today . Kinda funny when you take...

I'm still over 200 maybe 215 or so .That avatar pic I'm 230 .The weight is not a big deal I just wish I had the arms I had back then .Age seems to rob us of a lot of things ,sucks .

Something got a white oak at my neigbors .About the same size but the damned thing had metal in it .Whatever it is/was has not affected any others thank heavens . Symptoms .They all leaf out fine then starting from the top shed leaves about the first of August then grave yard dead by November...

The top will be firewood .I'll salvage the saw logs .I'll bet there's a cord in the top or more .

The bottom log looks like a dandy ,a 16 footer .I got a 16,12 and 10 out of it .The top ten footer isn't all that great .Got all pulled out but the 16 which I'll probabley have to fire up the dozer for .They're all cut about 6-8" over the dimension in case they end crack .

Ha I was going to use the 200T just to show Stig I could do it but changed my mind

Looks can be decieving .It looked terrible on the outside but inside is just dandy ,no rot nothing .Solid as a rock .I have no idea what killed it .

It had a little back lean which concerned me which is why the pull although it really was not neccesary .Bore cut wedge wedge .When I drove the last wedge it shook the tree .A little tug with the Fergy and over it went slick as snot on a door knob .

I should have dropped this thing five years ago instead of waiting so long .No big deal I guess it went well . It was around 100 feet before some of the top rotted and got blown out .Exactly 3 feet on the stump .
