Hi all this is what happen's if you take to long to mill your log's up without protecting them . Cheer's MM
Rotten luck.
How long were they on the ground ??
Hey, I've got some just like that.
Let me know when you light em up, and we'll try to send smoke signals to each other.

Are they punky all the way to the heart? I like to cut timbers out of old stuff like that for skids, stacking bunks and such. Just a few minutes ago I cut a year and a half old 20" sweet gum into 10 4x6s. The outside was rotten but the heart was good enough for stacking my other lumber on. I don't like cutting utility grade lumber out of new logs and this keeps me from wasting the old ones.
That said... a bonfire sounds fun too....
i probably should have done that at times...................were they white pines? they're the ones that usually get me.
Yeah man, I saw all that kind of stuff into dunnage, 4xs' and bigger. Works good (the hardwoods) for crane matts, they expect them to get torn up.
