Nope, just the Good ole' Eastern Trees here.
I just got called from a local golfcourse (Which i have been on a list to get called) to come pick up roughly 22 logs which are anywhere from 10" diameter to 30" and are a mixture of Spruce and Fir.
They are FREE (can't complain there!). But i have never milled any.
Only white pine and hemlock. Everything thing else we milled has been Hardwoods.
Just wondering if anyone has milled some and what they used it for:
2x's, 4x's, boards, etc...
When I was building my house, I was going to use a Laminated beam to support 24 ft of roof over a porch. I found that an 8X12X24ft #1 grade douglas fir beam would handle the same load at 1/3 less cost to the lam. The beam has been in place for 13 years now with no perceptable deflection. There was some twisting, but that's the way trees are. In short, the doug fir handles loads well-can't tell you about spruce.
