    Actually have already taken a quite a few few larger ones from around here... some over 40 and 50 inches. Those are ready for cants cuts, slabs and more right now. Some of the smaller 30 inch Black Walnut will also be milled this year. 'Monsters' of a few varieties I have taken myself. This is...

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    Somewhat amusing that anyone would think any outfit that buys and sells logs, Red Cedar and Fir, would give them to me for free... It is equally amusing... that anyone would think the truckers will haul for free 2000 miles to the Midwest, giving up that about $3.50 a mile they charge. The...

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    On occasion, after living 130 - 150 years they just get tired and lay down.... on a 120 year ole home. Giving them a second life as materials rather than firewood... is the best we can do for Mother Nature. This one had feeder roots the size of sewer tiles. And yes... all I take have a min...

    Guy... I'm not trying to be a pain...but, lighten up and do the math. Granted I will be doing some slabs... but with my mentioning that the mill will do just over a 22 inch width, I thought that some would just do the math. Four units of, 2x6's in 22 Five units of 4x4's with enough for One 2x8...

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    With all due respect to Mother Nature, and others opinions, from what I understand is that there are quite a few storage yards like Holbrook Inc across America with quite a bit of stock... already on the ground. I would like to think 'Mum' would have some respect for those that not only value...

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    A few reasons... but the top few are. For them to be able to create, 5 to 6ft wide 'tables,' with but two pcs of wood slab. I believe the larger the cant, the better math favors us in sawmill cuts. and though I have gone 'all in' for the athletes with this trade program... My sawmill has only a...

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    Most around me in the Midwest are as you say... sourcing closer to home. Around here or just south of me the red cedar is offered and some are using it along with buying the ole utility poles, cutting them down and making things. I am just stuck on larger units of the older cuts from west coast...

    Seems there really are a lot of the 'eastern' just south of me. But, the western and the possibility of a mixed load of what is out west has me working with the 2000 mile load. I took a look at the Holbrook site with Google Earth.... looks to be lead, thanks again. Holbrook Inc

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    Thanks... I will contact them next week. Searching logging seemed easy and was my first thought also... My searching 'logging' from the Midwest seems like all that I contacted over the last few weeks had great pictures of log piles, but are really a sort of land management company 'thinning'...

    Need some help with... where's the beef!

    Those tables are something... as to the hope of longer logs, two things. It just seemed better for the hauler to secure longer 24 ft units that a load of 10 footers...and Crazy ole guy that I am, from 24 footers.... not only would I let athletes use the material bringing their ideas to life, I...

    Simply put... I am asking the men that climb, no matter if they cut for themselves or a employer, who they would go to for 10 to 24 ft logs with a min of a 22inch top. Looking for a mix of cedar to be used in a athlete trade program in Illinois.
