What lengths are normal for the pnw? Are they bucked shorter at the mill or processes as delivered?
Some of the mills are geared up for the 9' stud market. The mill I currently sale to has a three inch trim per 9'. And 27'9" is their favorite length. They will take tops down to 6" and have taken down to 5.25" w/o deductions. The best saw logs go to a small Mom n Pop band mill(they pay real gooooooooda!)and the rest go to a privately owned local mill in ColumbiaFalls, Mt..
Are there published specs for allowable sweep in a log? Is it based on the sections the longer lengths will eventually be bucked into or on the whole log?
Get a power pole saw. I have murdered everything around my house...and wherever else I want to prune. I can get up 16' off the ground.
I like to see more on this, pics. hard to see jus what ya did.
It was too close to tell, so I opted for more work and a safer outcome. The little alder was getting too big.
This was what I did not want to break.

So I topped it first using my "bargain" wiggly wobbledy muscle powered pole saw. I'll finish it on a day when I feel like wearing long pants. The bottom is in a blackberry vine patch. Windows are in one piece. Objective met.
