    Hey Gypo, I got a log for you!

    I know it aint in the beautiful, pristine northern forest,
    but it's my largest white pine to date
    47" across at my felling cut,
    100 to 110 feet tall
    and approx 2,763 bf

    it is never so bad that it couldn't get worse

    It ain't a log until you flush those stubs. Looks like an arborist limbing job!
    Looks like a nice straight stem, gonna get it milled up?

    newfie, those limbs were cut while climbing the tree
    it was leaning over a house and most of the top needed roped down
    I flushed them when I bucked it to length
    Too big for me and my little mill, so I sold it to another mill
    it is never so bad that it couldn't get worse

    I've been reading about the swing blade mills for a few years now. Wouldn't even the smallest swing blade (Lucas, Peterson) saws easily handle that large white pine?

    As good an idea as the swing blade saw mills sound I'm not hearing much about them from you guys with the small mills.

    What do you guys think?

    Dan, a swing blade would cut it easily
    the mill I sold it to has a circular saw and he cant handle it
    He's bringing in a guy with a woodmizer LT40 (cuts 36") to trim it down first

    here's a link to a Peterson in action

    http://www.petersonsawmills.com/mill...ideo_index.htm

    the drawback with them is being limited to an 8" or so cut

    newfie, what do you think I got for that log?

    $500, I usually get .20 per board foot, but there was a few inches of punk around the outside edge

    and I bite a hole through my tongue

    "Comes A Time"

    Comes a time
    when you're driftin'
    Comes a time
    when you settle down
    Comes a light
    feelin's liftin'
    Lift that baby
    right up off the ground.

    Oh, this old world
    keeps spinning round
    It's a wonder tall trees
    ain't layin' down
    There comes a time.

    You and I we were captured
    We took our souls
    and we flew away
    We were right
    we were giving
    That's how we kept
    what we gave away.

    Oh, this old world
    keeps spinning round
    It's a wonder tall trees
    ain't layin' down
    There comes a time.
    Which Way To The Beech?

    Hi Dan, what a coincidence! The lyrics I posted were just what popped into my head, even though I knew it was the wrong answer, however, I didn't know that Young also wrote the lyrics to the one you posted.
    Go figure!
