Can't remember if I posted these. Big sugar pine I cut right next to the mainline (paved) haul road back in September 2020. It's Sunday afternoon on my way to camp for the week.

Nice logs!

Sitka Spruce snags.

Wow! now that is some beautiful looking wood. Now I'm going to look up what the lumber looks like (if the mill makes lumber from snags).

 

[Kodiak Kid]

They didn't make very good lumber, because they were turned into firewood!

It is amazing how they cut those trees and then more amazing how they moved the logs

Kinda figured that but I've made some gorgeous boards out of Incense Cedar snags on a Wood Mizer and the mill wanted nothing to do with those logs. Other times they're crying for wood that I would scale as 100% cull. Never have understood mills... well, other than they don't pay enough. LOL

How do you move those logs?

BFT's, btw

With a Skidsteer, one ton pickup and a couple trailers.






Cut safe, stay sharp and be aware!

Some of the snags I cut for firewood sales are definitely STHIL sound enough to be saw logs, but I get plenty of fresh green logs from tree removal jobs to take to the local mill.

Often they would build railroads right up to the logs and roll them on with teams of draft horses or steam power winches called "steam donkeys". A lot if the time they would also have to rip the logs in half or even into quarters by hand with huge cross cut saws.

Nice hinge on that one!

An old spar tree. You can see all the scars around the trunk from the cable guy lines.

Kind of looks like photo chop.
