Ran about 100 lineal feet of 30" wide beech today (3" thick). All saws ran great and the 2100 pulled hard all day long...
Nice work and great photos. Are you just going to air dry your stack?
If you consider the saw kerf was about 3/8", we turned about 15 cubic feet of wood into sawdust and of you assume 1 cubic foot of wood become 4 cubic feet of sawdust, we would have filled a full size pick up bed with the stuff, into a nicely rounded heap. At 4 lbs/bd ft we packed 4800 lbs of wood off the site by hand, one slab at a time, one guy on each corner, and that doesn't include the turning blanks we got.
Does it get any better?!?!?!?!

I will be visiting you're hood next week with my kids. I can't wait to see some of those monster trees.
Looking at these pictures I can't help but think how lucky you are to either own the property the tree is on or be close friends with the owner because if I even thought about milling for that long on-site with a saw wide open I would probably be hauled off in shackles and chains.
And no. It doesn't get any better!
