Just wanted to share a day’s work.
The butt of this redwood was 5’ across. The first log was 4’ long so I just cut it into two 2’ rounds to make tabletops and signs out of later.
The small log squared up at 20”x 20” so I made four 10”x 10” beams.
The middle beam was milled into 6”x 12” and 6”x 15” beams.
Both logs were 9’
The big log was 13’ long, so I milled 1”x 24” siding boards out of it. I had to take an 8” slab off one side and trim the but swell off the opposite side so that I could mill it up.
All total just over 2,000 bft not counting the rounds and none of it was light.
