Got to go north to Ohio to visit family for turkey day. Only had a few days but managed to mill a little. Had a giant old cherry to mill, produced 5 - roughly 10' logs, 30" at butt log & 18" at first branch. Got LOTS of dimensional lumber and a load of live edge slabs.
Me laughing at my brother, who's trying to man handle one of the logs:
The mill set up in the mud, elevated on rail ties. Ready to rock & roll.
Wifey posing in front of one of the upper end logs. Had some curve in it and I thought it may have a lil figure so I slabbed it. Not really any figure (log not wife) but really pretty (log and wife).
Old rotten maple section off the old man's fire wood pile made some interesting slabs. These two are 18"-20" wide:
All in all, very good trip. I cut a LOAD of hard maple, all straight clean logs, quarter sawn for my cues. I cut probably 1000bf of it. Planning to go back up in January for some more. Thanksgiving with the fam was pretty good, too
