This is the butt log off the candleabra tree (topped for view many years ago) I felled the other day. The 4 tops were use for stove wood. I cut an 8 foot section of the butt log too mill a few slabs and a 6x6 beam out of. The log has some cool grain pattern in it, but does have a bit of a dogleg in it. Here's a couple of pix. I'll find a good use for the slabs since it's excellent outdoor lumber.
What I wonder is, when I mill the beam out out of it, even though I cut it straight, will it have the tendency too revert too that dogleg? What a you guys think? If so I'll just go ahead and slab it up into 6/4 like this one.
